    I’d call it corporate gaslighting, passing the blame onto consumers to shield themselves from any accountability that could harm their bottom line. Similar to how they’ve roped a generation into believing the rhetoric of the consumer’s “carbon footprint” to shift the responsibility of climate action and deflect attention away from the world’s major polluters; multi-conglomerate companies.

      That wasn’t corporations, that was a grassroots effort spearheaded by the left and famous climate proponents. Unless you’re insinuating Al Gore and Bill Nye the Science Guy were being bribed by big business the whole time.
