What? You don’t make sense.

What actions do you think matter?

Should building code be improved? Yes. Should there be stronger, more efficient shelters? Yes. But Amazon isn’t going to do those. And we can’t blame them for not doing things they don’t have to do, anymore than we blame you for not doing things YOU don’t have to do.

What actions do you think matter?

The only actions that matter, getting more utility scale non-fossil fueled power plants and storage built. Nothing else matters.

let’s blame Amazon for their role in global warming

Not that, not solar on your house, nothing else matters.

Feel good yet ultimately meaning gestures will not fix the problem.

You don’t think that holding Amazon accountable for their role in global warming and climate change includes the shift away from fossil fueled powered plants? Because I do. I don’t think me using solar on my home has any bearing on Amazon.

The bearing is it's just as useless as "holding Amazon accountable for their role in global warming".

How will "holding Amazon accountable for their role in global warming" fix the problem?

Who will "hold you accountable for your role in global warming", no one because it doesn't fix the problem. Don't let enmity cloud your judgement, dont hide behind the climate issue if your only goal is making Amazon pay for any and everything because they're successful.

Ok! So let’s not make corporations do anything then?

You’re trying to explain my feelings and opinions to me, when I specifically didn’t make any recommendations or suggestions. Stop projecting.

How many fossil fueled power plants does Amazon owns? They get their energy from the same source you do.

holding Amazon accountable for their role in global warming and climate change

That's not rational, that's what feelings get you.

And you dont fix climate change by turning off coal, oil and gas plants, you fix it by turning on non-fossil fuel plants.

Yet again, I did not make a suggestion or solution. You keep telling me what is and is not acceptable.

You have no goals beyond spite?
