For everyone who blames climate change on the "evil rich sociopath mustache-twirling fatcat capitalist elite businessmen" and thinks you're the poor innocent victim.

Here's a fun science experiment you can do, which demonstrates different ways of generating energy.

Go to your nearest creek or wetlands, and find a dead tree. Bring home the logs, and put them in in the fireplace. Now light the logs on fire, and you've got a warm room.

Okay, wasn't that fun? Now, let's try something else. Burning logs to heat up your room sure made a lot of smoke, which went into atmosphere and contributed to global warming. How about we find another way to heat up your living room?

Now build your own nuclear fission reactor to heat up your living room. Or how about a windmill, do you know how to build that, with no engineering education? You would have to spend thousands of dollars for years to get an engineering degree, then thousands more dollars to buy everything you need for a windmill turbine that heats up a resistor in your living room.

Conclusion: Climate change is not caused by a few evil rich people conspiring in ivory towers to get their truffles and caviar at the expensive of everyone else.

Human nature is that we like to do things as cheaply and easily as possible, with as little work as possible.

We like paying for cheap electricity, and coal keeps electricity cheap. No need to pay expensive wages on college-educated experts, or the huge startup cost for a fission reactor. The "evil rich people" give us what we want.
