When will we learn that there's no such things as a good corporation?
Tesla similarly fooled people.
This isn't directed at you personally, but google never fooled anybody that was paying attention to slowly unfolding disaster of the failure to mitigate climate change over the last twenty years or more (for many people older than I).
Bad sentence, sorry.
We won't stop burning fossil fuels until it's illegal and militaries use force to destroy all extraction facilities, just like we won't reduce our plastic consumption until it's heavily restricted.
I've believed that for 20 years, and I believe it now more than ever. We're decades away from either being a foreseeable course of action.
I'd love to actually, but most plastics get pushed on me in the form of packaging. I don't need a six pack of beer all wrapped up in plastic. I don't need bolts and nuts "conveniently" packaged per five.
I'm absolutely with you. Stop pushing responsibility on individuals. If something is bad and I should avoid consuming things that use it, it shouldn't be allowed to be produced in the first place.
I'm not looking to 'out-pessimism' you or anything, but the national guard already protected the Dakota protest pipeline. The military will protect those extraction sites, not destroy them.
If we burn all fossil fuels we really put human extinction on the table as a possible outcome. For the same reason people have started buying ridiculously sized cars/trucks at exactly the point we need people to do the opposite, I think 'we' will burn all 'we' can at exactly the point we need to do the opposite.
