 @874e0e3e It's actually very easy to understand: The fossil fuel corporations make large "donations" to the political parties (most if not all of the various parties, you can see them on the parties official donation ledgers, this is happening globally), therefore those political parties feel obligated to act in the corporations best interests.. Only by passing a law banning political donations will this ever change, then the politicians will stop protecting the fossil fuel industry and start doing the right thing for once as they will no longer be obligated to act on their behalf.
