    Maybe stop warning and shouting at us poor people who can’t do shit about it and go after billionaires. Every bit of conservation I’ve done in my entire life is undone in a day by a billionaire who wants to take a day trip. All these scientists and articles just yell into the void.

          Oh so it’s weird because they’re using a descriptor instead of her name?

          Well, looking at the world in general I don’t blame them for assuming ignorance from people. I
