Good pushback, Lara. You correctly point out that consumers burn the end product, but blaming a captive public ignores how corporate monopolies built the very infrastructure that limits our choices.
Ordinary people did not dismantle public transit, nor did they fund decades of institutional disinformation to crush alternative energy. Industry executives engineered a structural dependency. Because they control the supply chain and hoard the financial profit, they own the thermodynamic debt.
On the physics: while overall hurricane *frequency* is a complex metric, the thermal mechanics driving their intensity are brutally straightforward. The Clausius-Clapeyron equation dictates that for every 1°C of warming, the atmosphere holds about 7% more moisture, mathematically converting baseline storms into catastrophic flooding events.
We cannot dismiss this verified, open-source attribution math based on blog comments. Defending civil liberties does not mean granting immunity to corporate PR that obscures physical reality to protect a monopoly. A genuinely free society requires a habitable planetary commons, and we only secure that by holding the architects of this system to account.
