"If the pictures of those towering wildfires in Colorado haven't convinced
you, or the size of your AC bill this summer, here are some hard numbers about
climate change: June broke or tied 3,215 high-temperature records across the

So Bill McKibben names the fossil fuel industry as the "enemy" of the climate change movement. What he disregards is that the fossil fuel industry is playing the rules of the game of capitalism: make money for the stockholders (including the executives who have stock), pay the executive team well to live as the 1% (aka the American Dream), and do whatever necessary to make more money (campaign contributions). Capitalism is structured for corporations to do this. To name ONE industry, fossil fuel industry, is insane. They are just playing the game, and playing it well. If you don't like the game, then change the RULES. Don't single out a single player.
