These companies really do pollute, really are the largest American CO@ emitters and as Americans we have a right to answers and solutions.
"You are shifting the blame" is a straw man because the GP didn't do that. Rather, it pointed out a nuance in the issue that the previous comment didn't acknowledge.
(And a nit: a straw man attacks an argument that was not made, not a thing that doesn't exist.)
> He didn't call them evil, you are accusing him of doing that (You are closer to constructing a straw-man than he is).
Read my comment again. I said "a lot of rhetoric does X," which is vastly different from "you are doing X."
Good thing I'm not doing that, then.
Its not me or you thats changing law to pollute on behalf of corporations or companies. Its lawyers working for corporations.
So how is the commentator "Straw-manning"??
