[Hokusai]

> If it hurts the bottom line for America it just gets down-played and treated as a nesessary evil.

American companies? Corporate profits and citizens well being are often misaligned.

> How does one prove global warming is based on humans and isnt a natural phenomenon?

The same way you prove that someone died of natural causes or was assassinated. It's not always easy but there are ways from toxicology to study of bodies in decomposition.

> I'm actually surprised _anyone_ is fighting big oil.

Big tech is the rising sun. Car makers are losing power by the day, and the same goes to big oil. They are still extremely powerful, but investment money is moving slowly to other places. So, fights that seemed impossible will become more common with time.
