@phil_stevens Don't like fossil fuel companies? Get rid of your ICE vehicle. Don't like billionaires? Don't do business with their companies. Don't like particular politicians or the people who fund them? Don't do business with them either.

@phil_stevens Relying others like governments to "get" them is doomed to failure as it is not a level playing field.

@davemosk You know, that's the very same rhetoric Exxon has been using ever since they came up with the term "carbon footprint." And it stinks. It is the apotheosis of victim blaming. Shift the onus onto individuals and ignore the systemic failure that renders all of our choices (like getting rid of my ICE vehicle eight years ago) utterly void of effect. No, the only hope we have is to change the system. This is the final boss.
