Some people are engaged in wishful thinking that businesses have massive margins that can be de facto seized, without any adverse effects like price increases or capital flight. There’s a talking point that 100 corporations generate most greenhouse gases implying individuals are not to blame. But if people are asked to use less fuel directly or indirectly or buy less goods they reject the idea of moderating their consumption. Climate change is the ultimate prisoner’s dilemma. Each individual and country directly benefits from higher income, consumption, and GDP through cheap non-renewable energy. The costs of GHG emissions are literally spread across the entire planet.
