Why isn’t it “oppression” to poison the air that someone needs to breathe?

  It is, certainly, but unless you want the human civilisation revert back to stone age, there's no way around it. We can only minimize the impact right now (e.g. with more taxation that's better aligned with actual externalities), and improve technology to reach that goal in the future (again, taxation/subsidies but in the limit they're essentially the same).
