Comment on Just 57 companies linked to 80% of greenhouse gas emissions since 2016

You have to change millions of people’s houses to switch their type of heating And replace cars, etc It will require huge changes for individuals, you can’t just turn off the big oil companies as nice as it would be to have a simple fix

Oil companies are the reason we haven’t already made the change to electric transportation and renewable energy decades ago.
It could have already happened if it wasn’t for these companies trying to prevent it.

That isn’t exactly related to what we’re taking about. I’m not saying stopping the use of oil is bad, I’m saying it requires changes for the individual
Yes oil companies have lobbied, you also have people in industry that aren’t going to vote to remove their own jobs either. Makes it tricky. I don’t think we should have allowed companies to get away with this btw but historically I’m not sure public support would be there
