    That’s one of the problems of the Greens, they and their voters are largely a relatively wealthy urban bubble who see three trees and think that’s nature. That’s why a lot of their environmental policy is based on greenwashing shit like CO2 certificate trading and subsidies to new electric cars only rich people can afford in the first place.

      CO2 certificates don’t attempt to greenwash, but to artificially give pollution a price. That way companies have a financial incentive to lower their CO2 pollution. And at the end of the day money is all companies care about.
