Political interest groups vociferously opposing allocation of funds commensurate with the scale of the problem probably also isn't helping. Heaven forbid we do anything that might help the oil companies.
Why should one trust such entities? Greenwashing? Astroturfing? For all I care they can wash themselves with their own green vomit, because of all the divestement :-)
F-U-C-K T-H-E-M A-L-L!
Internal combustion engines are too well understood and wide spread to conceivably ban. Our planet will boil if we don't develop carbon sequestering capability at scale. It doesn't seem fair to me to risk the lives of all those people that will die from climate related problems just because we don't like the oil companies.
edit: TBH I'm SICK of all this apologizing smooth talking.
