Scientists: “Human activities are adding a tremendous amount of greenhouse gas emissions to the atmosphere, trapping heat & leading to #ClimateChange. That will lead to more extreme storms, flooding, drought, higher than average temperatures, the loss of biodiversity, wildfires and more.” 📣

@Sheril The phrasing in this leads people to believe that individuals are to blame for climate change. It almost exclusively leaves out corporations. "About the 100 top corporate polluters are to blame for 70%+ of climate change."
Yes, the individual can help, but corporate polluters should get no mercy in any article. The emphasis should be on them.
As I sit in my SUV waiting for my double-cheese baconator, I often wonder - why are corporations so evil? Why do they persist in creating so much pollution? It's almost like someone is PAYING them to destroy the planet.
