Yes exactly. People, you and me, eat the cost of automobiles. NOT the automobile manufacturers or the oil industry. We take most of the cost, they've externalized it to us, i.e. they are on welfare. Just in a roundabout way.

If you put those costs on them instead of us, they would be in very hot water. And they may be motivated to change their business practices.

And I won't comment on the urgency or scale of the global climate. It's not worth an argument.
