What does privileged but climate-conscious Americans mean?

@gimu_taro Oh ok- it's fairly commonly used in situations where you wouldn't expect someone to have both qualities. E.g. "He is a wealthy but frugal man." You wouldn't ordinarily expect someone with a lot of money to be frugal so you use "but" in between them. Another example: "She is a young but experienced horse rider."
