I think rhe "oligarchic manipulators" version of reality is highly irresponsible. Sure there are large companies whose future is tired to continuing to burn oil as fast as possible. In fact, such companies--whose interest would be in denying climate shift caused by human activity--are probably more massive in their influence than those who would have a financial interest in militating for reduced carbon footprint. So the rationale of the "giant corporations are lying to us" story is kinda wonky.

Furthermore every decision made in the name of such corporations is made by a meat-bodied two-leg just like thee and me, and they sweat when you heat them as surely as they bleed if you prick them.

So I doubt they are as deeply invested in refusal of change as is being painted.

Who DOES refuse to change is the human committed to the preservation of safe ignorance.
