How Big Oil is manipulating the way you think about climate change https://www.salon.com/2023/05/13/how-big-oil-is-manipulating-the-way-you-think-about-climate-change/
A logic professor explains how a persistent, subtle fallacy has infected public discussion of climate change
I don't want to know what I can do to reduce my estimated 0.00000005 percent of the world's annual greenhouse gas emissions. I want to know what Big Oil is going to do to phase out the 73 percent of GHC emissions that they empower — which was 37,190,000,000 metric tons of CO2 in 2021. Of course, the fossil fuel industry would rather send me nosing into the compost in my backyard, than sniffing under the closed doors of political dealmaking that props up the hegemony of the fossil fuel economy.
I have zero confidnce the oil industry will do anything, they hve their profits and share holders to think about.
What is perhaps needed is a MASSIVE class action lawsuit against them, to basically wipe them out, bankcrupt everyone who works for big oil from the Janitors to the CEOs.
Thanks for this, not sure what happened to my book mark.
Ah so litigation has already started, good stuff,.

Extralegal measures are needed. I won't spell them out...
