      You can’t. But in the real world, we aren’t going to stop using planes, cars and heaters in the next few months.

      The best thing that aids a transition are carbon offsets that help subsidize the very technology upon which a Green revolution depends.

        Ironically inconvenient truths for the armchair environmentalists.

        Besides, I suspect if one gave them all a winning lottery ticket we could observe how quickly their attitudes change.

        Nevertheless I could think of probably hundreds of individuals far less ethical and far more responsible for global catastrophe in this day than Swift. So as far as billionaires go, she’s not all that bad. Let’s perhaps focus more on Musk, Bezos, the Waltons, etc…?

          Yeah but hating on those folks wouldn’t be as cool as hating on someone the normies like!
