don’t @ me about “100 corporations are responsible for like 90% of emissions”. Who’s buying those corporations’ goods?

Suggesting that the consumer is responsible for emissions at the point of production betrays a deep misunderstanding of climate change.

Suggesting that “people’s” willingness to support policy that would change their lives is holding back cuts to emissions at the point of production betrays a similarly deep misunderstanding of political power.
