If you're still flying or eating meat, you are not serious about climate change.
I would also: 'deportation camps' being used to convert immigrant labour into slave labour (because they will still need people to do the work)

Yes - echoes of Kant (via Stanford):

We are to respect human beings simply because they are persons and this requires a certain sort of regard... And, crucially, persons cannot lose their humanity by their misdeeds – even the most vicious persons, deserve basic respect as persons with humanity.

It's important to remember too that no one and no sector is exempt from this. Lamenting the climate crisis and fossil industry while pretending your own choices are irrelevant is far too common in the conservation and climate world.

Yes: fine to completely normalise futures where machines suck many 100s billions of tonnes of CO2 from the atmosphere, but suggesting limits on the number of flights taken by wealthy hi-emitters or moving away from cars (including EVs) in built-up urban environments is considered beyond the pale.
