You and I didn't effectively bribe governments the world over spanning decades to keep emissions standards from having any teeth; many of these companies have. You and I haven't propagated climate change denial on a worldwide scale; many of these companies have. We can certainly discuss individual culpability, but the only reason a significant portion of the populace believes in climate change denial is because there has been a massive effort to discredit climate science. Frankly, it's terrifying how effective they have been. Fully half of our government (the Republican half) seems to genuinely believe climate change is nothing to worry about, even while their states are flooding and in the midst of historic droughts.
