    Did you even read the article? That’s literally what they’re calling for. The removal of subsidies.

    As for everyone needing to pitch in, just no. The vast majority of emissions come from sources outside public control. The “everyone needs to pitch in” and “watch your personal carbon footprint” crap is just effective marketing from BP.

    Not saying cutting down personal emissions is bad, every little helps…

    but it’s not a solution. We need to be holding the big emmiters accountable.

    The only realistic way to doing that is through inconvenient protests like blocking roads and making sure we can’t be ignored. How else do you force governments to turn on their benefactors?

    It’s been over 50 years now, and we’ve seen very little real movement on this. it’s been mostly token and empty gestures, and pandering. It’s time we stepped up our game.

    Soooo she’s got the right idea imo
