    People should get the vast majority of the blame. Oil companies lobby and spew propaganda, but people choose cars because they’re comfy and more convenient than mass transit or biking.

    We’re absolving ourselves of our own agency if we’re directing our ire at them instead of our own lifestyles.

      If you think you can save the planet by letting the oil industry off the hook, you’re fooling yourself.

        I think if people stopped using cars, travelling by plane, and ordering stuff from far away, the oil industry would collapse because it wouldn’t have customers.
