Leading energy companies are intent on pushing the world in the opposite direction, expanding fossil fuel production and insisting that there is no alternative. It is evidence that they are motivated not by record warming, but by record profits, experts say.

Yes, because oil companies are totally NOT spending millions of dollars fighting every possible movement, organization or act to hold them responsible for the damage they're causing. Clearly, we just need to hold hands and everything will be solved!

Also, as an individual, you don't choose whether the electricity you get comes from a gas power plant, hydro dam, coal or something else. You don't get to choose whether the thing you're eating was transported from a diesel truck or an electric vehicle. There are many, many steps before you get a final product that needed fossil energy
