Is it still 40 percent? Seems much more evident now what's happening.
Maybe 40 percent is still pro big oil but they don't deny the causal link.
I'm pro big oil because I still drive a gas car. In that sense if you use big oil products you are a supporter. I would put supporters at over waaaaay over 40 percent. 95% is a better estimate.
- wredue 3y agoThat’s a weird way to put it. Driving a gas car doesn’t make you pro-big oil. Most of us are beholden to market pressures and have no realistic option. Everyone still has to make their living, and they have to do it inside the elites construction of the market.
- corethree 3y agoThe elites didn't construct the market. You're just looking for someone to blame. The market came as an emergent property. The elites are at fault as much as you and I are at fault. The story of oil is a human crisis caused by humanity itself. We like to blame specific groups but that's just not reality.
- matthewdgreen 3y agoIf this was true, then the for-profit fossil fuel industry wouldn't spend so much money on PR and political lobbying. They'd return that money to their shareholders instead.
- corethree 3y agoYou and I enable that behavior by buying oil.
