How about instead this "personal responsibility" bullshit we focus on the actual causes of global warming, I.e. massive corporations that create the majority of greenhouse gasses

Why has it to be either, or? We need both. Systemic and behavioural changes on all levels. And we need it now. We no longer have any time left to shift the blame back and forth! I'm getting so sick of this blame game!

It's 100% personal responsibility, it's just that part of that responsibility is to vote/convince others for more systemic change. All the kids just blaming the "biggest 100 companies" while not voting and making no lifestyle changes are just as bad as the people they critizise.

If you put it this way: sure. And those famous "biggest 100 companies", which are constantly used as a cheap excuse to not do anything on a personal level, are run by maybe 1,000 or so individuals. And employ a few 100,000 individuals.

All decisions are 100% personal responsibility, because entities like corporations or nations can't decide anything. It's always individual people.
