        So many people absolutely refuse to change their own destructive habits and justify it with “corporations tho!” like they just pollute for fun and not to produce goods and services consumers buy.

        Refusing to give them your money by changing your habits to be less destructive is a great way to hold them accountable, while advocating and voting for regulation of course.

          While I get what you are saying, individual responsibility only gets us so far. We need societal-level change, and holding corporations accountable isn’t just about reigning in their direct pollution. Corporations control what choices that we as consumers even have. Regulating them so that we can only pick from a variety of good choices – or at least so that the bad choices are more expensive / effort – has a much higher impact than getting individuals to make good choices when bad choices are easily available, cheaper, and easier.

    This comic makes me want a benevolent alien life form to exterminate all humans and let evolution try again.

    How is acknowledging that the climate is constantly changing, fall into the category of climate denier?

      The person in the comic is pointing out that the climate is constantly changing as a rebuttal to the idea that human-caused climate change is a real issue. The implication is that all climate change is natural and therefore we cannot combat climate change and shouldn’t even try. It’s a common tactic of climate deniers.

        I see now, thanks for clearing that up. Seems like I’ve made people irritated by asking a simple question.

      I’m being negatively voted for asking a question, reminiscent of reddit. Thank you folks.
