Knowing my parents and grandparents you’re giving them too much credit.
I have yet to meet a boomer who will give up an ounce of comfort to get out of their routine. I have family that uses cling wrap to wrap everything in their fridge even though I’ve suggested reusable containers, reminding them how it will sit in a landfill. Who refuse to use compostable bags for lawn waste or even just no bags at all, or even just leaving the leaves and letting them compost. Family who want to drive big trucks just because or yes even eat a gluttonous amount of meat.
All of those things my direct family are guilty of. I won’t say that simply doing any of them makes you guilty - but refusing to make any sort of effort at all sure as hell makes you guilty.
You don’t get to blame oil and gas companies while also driving a lifted pickup which gets 10 mpg. You don’t get to schlep off all responsibility. They are to blame and propaganda is real for sure, but that doesn’t mean we are all also off the hook. If people just ate one less serving of beef a week we could make a noticeable impact - but that’s just too much for some apparently.
