I blame government AND fossil fuel companies. Harder to blame individuals when they're just trying to survive in a system they didn't build and have little powe

  At the end it's all humans. Government does what the voters want so the get elected/re-elected. Unfortunately voters don't seem to want to pay more tax for fuel and electricity. They don't seem to want to pay additional taxes for their flights etc. Politicians are slowly phasing in these kind of policies, but it is not fast and drastic enough. Maybe soon with a bit more forest fires and heat waves and water scarcity the population will ask and show in the polls that they want more and more drastic measures. Once the majority of the population decides we cannot continue as we have done, then things will happen, but it goes to slow unfortunately. Just look at everyone who without blinking takes a long flight for their holiday. In one swoop they spend as much energy as they use in one year on commuting with car, cooking, heating house, warming water, household machines etc.
