Harvard study: Exxon 'misled the public' on climate change for nearly 40 years

That's an insane thing to say.

You played a role, by using the fucking computer your on. Consumers drove demand. People digging for coal, and dying from black lung certainly didn't do it for fun. They did it because of people like YOU, who use up all the resources.

I could argue that anybody who's ever bought an iphone is personally responsible for killing thousands(or millions) of Chinese people(who make those phones in horrible conditions, exposing themselves to heavy metals, and silicon).

I could argue that anybody who is an American is culpable for the millions of casualties in Iraq. Or the massive amounts of deaths in Vietnam. Or that all people who lived in Nazi Germany were culpable for Hitler(even the Jews), because they were a part of it.

You need to grow up and learn to see the world as it is. If you want to criticize millions of people for their lifestyle choices... maybe make sure you aren't contributing to the same problem.

You want the coal/oil to drive your car and power your house. But FUCK THE PEOPLE WHO ACTUALLY DO THE JOB OF GETTING IT FOR YOU... RIGHT?
