Do you think the responsibility of climate change is in the hands of the individual or large corporations? Through the media, the individual is taught to believe that they need to make changes in their lifestyle to stop climate change in its path. However, corporations such as Shell and others hold much more responsibility than you'd think. In the article "The Case for Abandoning 'Corporate Responsibility' When We Judge Company Practices" by William Nordhaus on the Time magazine website, the author writes "We are indeed prisoners when we unwittingly trust malicious companies who invite us as guests into their showrooms. These firms know about their dangerous products, withhold that knowledge, subvert science to advance their narrow commercial interests, and put their guests to death." The fact that these big companies are directly withholding information about their products and the dangerous environmental side effects of them tells you all you need to know about who the responsibility of climate change is owned by. Across the board, corporations need to be more open about their carbon emissions and start to think about long-term solutions. Overall, everyone can do something to stop climate change; but the lesson here is that some are more responsible than others. It's time that we as the collective population of Earth start calling out the environmental violence done by these corporations.

I think both people and corporations are causing climate change
