    Not much the average person can do when shipping companies burn bunker oil, and oil corporations pollute vastly more than anyone else

      Yeah, how corporations managed to convince people that it’s people’s fault and we should be the ones changing something, not the corporates, is beyond me.

        The thing is that the corporations aren’t doing this apropos of nothing. In the end it’s us the consumer with our demands for cheap stuff or pension investments or low cost food that is driving the corporate behaviour.

        I don’t think there’s a single person now who can claim they haven’t known about this coming for a long time, and yet none of us has done as much as we possibly could to mitigate it.

        We’re all culpable.
