Yes, we all carry some responsibility. Those of us who indulged in the privileges and luxuries afforded by cheap, high-density fossil fuels during the post-war economic anomaly will mainly pay by losing access to what they’re used to (the over-60 crowd excepted – they’ll die before the worst of it and escape scott free as usual).
The companies that built the infrastructure for that lifestyle, especially the ones who covered up and lied about the negative externalities while raking in huge profits, should pay in cold hard cash to a degree comensurate with their culpability in creating the mess.
Placing all the burden of cleaning up the mess on human individuals while giving corporate “persons” and their executives a free pass is a BS Libertarian cop-out that barely flew in 2007-2008 and won’t fly with a crisis like this.
