Every bit of opposition to climate change mitigation comes from the oil industry. How incredibly evil and vile they are for being willing to damage the world and our environment just to make a buck.



There’s certainly some of this, and there are also a lot of people living in difficult geographies that rely on oil. Take away global reliance on oil and these people either have to move somewhere else (and many of them aren’t exactly welcome in their neighboring countries) or else they die, starving, and in the dark. I’m not really as sympathetic to this issue as I sound, but I don’t think the characterization of 100% greed and evil is totally fair, either.
