Another lie is that fossil fuel companies are spending "billions" fighting global warming. No they have not.
Exxon a company that has over $300B in sales donated less than $2M on political candidates and $5M on lobbying. 1/3 pf that was on democrats! They donated some money to Nikki Haley you idiots! Not billions.

Another practical fact is that fossil fuels companies have invested little in alternative energy. They are not changing their business model because they know the world needs fossil energy and they are providing that. You have those bullshit ads by BP claiming to be going green but it is just pr nonsense.
Yes behavior and markets matter.
