It is more or less accepted that we need to lower the emissions to try to not further contribute the climate change. Important things are done and with significant impact but based on the article in the guardian, are we focusing on the right challenges and contributors?

Should we penalize the contributors instead of subsidizing the end users to change to less polluting alternatives?
Good work! Well, if we stop using fossil fuels there won't be any more of these companies, like Exxon and the like. As individuals we should switch to electric cars and non-polluting methods of energy production. Any such switch is going to be followed quickly. If your neighbour has an electric car, you will do anything possible to get one too.
Very interesting article.
This is a valid and worthwhile question that should be part of our overall discussion in the research community. Thanks for generating this discussion.
