Agreed, if I want to roll coal in my daily commute that is my business. As long as I produce less CO2 than an oil refinery, my actions are without consequence.
Also, there is a sense of incredibly naive detachment here. It's not like the oil refinery is working because all people involved have the only ultimate goal of killing the planet because of some evil plan. The oil refinery is working for you, to produce the gasoline you pump in your car and the plastics you buy stuff in every single day. We need to reduce demand for that stuff, through individual action too. If you use oil industry's stuff, "their emissions" are YOUR emissions.
The refinery is still operating because the people who run it make tons of money no because "we have to" ya dunce.
Investments in solar 50 years ago and plant based plastics around the same time would have literally saved the planet.
I do not answer to those who cannot argument in a civilized manner
This is actually true. You as an individual can't even make a blip compared to industry.
Go ahead and feel guilty tho like the corps want you to, pussy.
