    Hey bro, you a shill for big oil or something?

    You’ve posted a shit ton of content in a short amount of time that seems to be placing most of the blame on average people while giving just a passing glance to the actions of large corporations.

    The idea of individual action being responsible for more than a drop in the bucket is a myth created by oil companies to push the blame off of themselves and onto everyone else with a BS “we’re all in this together” mentality.

    This kind of post is the same trite. No, the person who goes on vacation is not the problem because they choose to fly. The corporations fighting tooth and nail to keep things like oil and gas subsidies alive, and deny subsidies to emerging technologies like wind/solar/batteries are the ones who are the problem. The handful of corporations who are responsible for more emissions than 80% of the rest of the population combined are the problem. The lobbyists who push to obfuscate climate science and lead a narrative that climate change isn’t real are the problem. Trying to say individuals are the problem is like complaining that a housemate keeps leaving lights on while ignoring another housemate who keeps 18 space heaters plugged in and running all the time.

    Yea, yea “no raindrop thinks they are responsible for the flood”. But while we’re all raindrops, the corporations are the ones who have been chipping away at the dam walls for years.
