    We blame oil companies because, as you yourself said (see my previous comment where I quoted you), the oil companies are to blame.

      No, people’s lifestyles are to blame. Oil companies meet the demand. They partially shape people’s behaviour, but people still have choices, and most westerners choose to destroy the environment and blame the oil companies.

            If I’ve missed your point, it’s because you haven’t made it very clear. It’s obvious I read your comment, my reply to it was almost entirely quotes from it.

              I think you’re intentionally misreading it because it was pretty obvious:

              Sure, oil companies use lobbying which influences people and policy. But, ultimately people make their own choices and most of the time they choose the convenient option which destroys the planet. But, they get to blame the oil company, not their own decisions.
