There's this temptation to believe that global warming is only caused by a very small group of unrepentant greedy assholes, when the fact of the matter is that it really is a systemic issue caused by essentially everyone in a moderately developed country.

It should be noted that the category of 'world's richest 1%' includes quite a lot of Americans. If you've ever flown for a vacation, there's a decent chance you're included in that category. This is not the Musks and Bezos and Gates of the world; it's the doctors, lawyers, tech workers, and middle managers.
