    Notice this response isn’t “that’s wrong and here’s why” it’s “someone else also said this”.

    Even if it were true that I was repeating BP taking points, that’s not a good reason to discount it.

    To help drive the point home, how many widgets will a company make if no one is buying them anymore?

      What’s more realistic to change? A few dozen companies or billions of people?

      Obviously it is easier to change the companies. That is why fossil fuel companies pay marketing companies to shift the responsibility onto billions of people. Because they know it will never succeed.

      So whether you are a fossil fuel shill or not, you are doing the work of a fossil fuel shill.
