Is blaming Exxon anything more than scapegoating? I'm not exactly sure what counter-factual history Exxon is supposed to have enabled, if it had taken a stand against its own interests: are we to believe that the last 50 years of fossil fuel use would have been different? All people are partisan to their own interests; there is nothing wrong with this, and much good about it. Non-partisan institutions require independent funding, and are therefore largely to be provided by the state. Unless I'm missing something, I find all this finger-pointing largely scapegoating theatrics.
