    This is just the same buck-passing that BP was doing.

    You are personally responsible for your own contribution.

    You are doubly responsible for giving money to BP or Chevron.

    You have control over some things in your life. If you choose to live like the average american driving everywhere, eating meat, and inefficiently climate controlling a building that is far bigger than needed and poorly insulated, then you are choosing to emit an amount of CO2 that will contribute to several deaths.

    You are also directly giving the oil, gas, and meat industries the resources to kill many more.

    Just because BP passed the buck, doesn’t exonerate you.

      As I said above, you people don’t know me. It’s absolutely not the same as BP because I don’t make billions off of poisoning the planet. Nor have I stifled alternative energy for a hundred years.

      Kill rich people.
