Indeed they corrupted the narrative to avoid blame, to maintain profits.

But who are they selling the oil to? Us.

We are all sinners in this

I said in the first place that the companies hid the impact of pollution to maintain profits so fuck off with that.

Do you think oil companies just make the oil products, emit the pollution and pump it back below the surface of the earth?

No. We drove the cars that used it, we used the plastics, we asked for more and more and cheaper and cheaper and they said "sure thing bud 🤑"
