Global warming appears to have shifted into a faster gear. After removing the effects of El Niño, volcanic eruptions, and solar cycles, researchers found that the planet has warmed at roughly 0.35°C per decade over the past ten years, compared with just under 0.2°C per decade from 1970 to 2015. The acceleration, which becomes visible around 2013 to 2015, appeared across five major global temperature datasets with more than 98% statistical certainty.

In what way is my suggestion that people should be environmentally conscious with their choices supporting oil companies?
So we should just sit back and wait for the oil companies to benevolently act on our behalf? Forgive me if I don’t feel like circling the drain without a fight.
In the way that it reinforces the oil companies’ favorite narrative where individual consumers are responsible for the damage the company does to generate profit for its parasitic shareholders.
No, we should be doing things we don’t organize in public posts on social media to make the executives and shareholders of those companies absolutely terrified of what will happen if they don’t do as we demand.
Funny, that’s exactly what your first comment shows is the only thing you’re willing to do.
