Yes I agree with some of your points,
As for brainwashed we in the UK are cutting down trees in north and south America making them into wood pellets ferry them across the Atlantic in a ship burning bunker oil, off load it at liverpool docks, load it on a train class 66 built in the 1990s
Burning diesel taking the wood pellets to the power station, Drax power station did burn coal, but now its green as the emission are created abroad!
