>so none of the users of those oil, who paid for it willingly, had any responsibility at all then?

- Ecologists and native-right defenders being killed in many countries.

- Politicians being paid off by corporations to fight against wind and solar energy.

- Newspapers paid to mislead the public.

But you blame the guys that cannot make ends meet and buys the only thing that they can afford.

Stop blaming the victims. This is something that needs to be solved at the state level, blaming citizens for the crimes of oil producers is false, morally wrong and unproductive.

To blame others than the oil producing companies that bribe politicians and lie to the public is just a stalling tactic to continue destroying the world while most people is actually trying to stop that destruction.

Instead of blaming oil users, you think the producers should restrict the supply to them, forcing them to reduce or stop their use? But you just said they cannot make ends meet - will they die if they can't afford or aren't allowed oil? How can oil producers do anything at all about climate change besides producing less oil?
