Well said!! But we do have agency to live differently. In fact even 100 years ago we all were way less dependent on fossil fuels- people in the USA used many fewer plastics, walked and biked more, and used more mass transit, purchased less and more locally- in short, carbon emissions have risen with a lifestyle to which we have become addicted- and to sever ourselves as much as possible from this may seem like personal disempowerment- but only in the context of the greater greenwashing machine. Using less, buying less and locally when possible, growing food and eating more locally grown foods, using mass transit and walking/biking when possible- these things can in fact empower us personally with greater health, peace, savings and community connections.
Brilliant analogy... and yet as the comment below suggests, the World majority's children are indeed working their little hearts out, feeding the sickly, obese, all consuming Westerners - some 10 percent of the world population, consuming 8o per cent of its resources.
Spoiler alert: governments and corporations have been modifying the weather since at least the 1940s. Weather modification has been weaponized since at least the Operation Popeye covert operation conducted throughout the Vietnam War. Currently dozens of countries and hundreds of corporations overtly engage in weather modification programs, and there is ample evidence of ongoing covert weather modifications as well. Any "scientific" discussion of climate change overlooking decades continuous of weather modification is not actually scientific. In light of the incomplete dataset the whole climate change agenda could be a form of pseudoscientific gaslighting subtly obscuring the psychopathic urge to oppress, enslave, and ultimately destroy less fortunate humans.
Greenwashing is Gaslighting

Great analogy, if only it were just that. It’s not like there are whole industries out there that run on child slavery, right? Waaait: https://foodispower.org/human-labor-slavery/slavery-chocolate/ 😣😣😣

Good, insightful explanation. Thanks.
I heard that lies on the internet spread 7 x ‘s faster than the truth. So gaslighting is also very fast.
