      I clearly discussed that.

      No, they don’t. They only have responsibility for their consumption.

      Further, they only have responsibility for the consumption AND the damage that consumption causes, WHEN THAT INFO ISNT OBSCURED FROM THEM. These corps, and corrupt government hid that info in the name of profits.

        I still don’t have access to good (more than 100Mbps) reliable internet service and as a consumer can do nothing to change that, how am I supposed to be able to expect a new electric vehicle fast charger in my area to cut back my emissions? Also that where I live I have no access to public transit, and am forced to drive everywhere.

          I didn’t say you had much control, or are.the root of the problem. But all of us have skin in the game when we consume products that cause global warming.

          Things like eating beef, using gas, using plastic products. I’m not saying you have an alternative, but nobody other than you is using the gas that you’re using.

          The separate, bigger part of the equation is the corruption.

            But if you admit that there are no alternatives then one more step down the chain would be to blame, ie the companies producing, and not providing alternatives… You’re so close and keep making points against what you then say is your conclusion.
