So now it comes down to do we consider the corporations as ourselves or not? You may think not, but fact is (now thats a statement you don't often hear in politics!) humanity created these corporations. You are part of humanity, and since humans created corporations, human values are infused with them, and by natural selection, only the most ruthless and greedy of them survive. So in theory, one could argue that corporations are a subspecies of humans. Nonetheless, we humans have doomed ourselves through short sightedness, and now the seemingly unstoppable cogs of climate change have started to churn more quickly as we add oil (pardon the pun) into the fire.
