I also very much dislike the argument that it's the "corporations". The "corporations" are polluting this much because people buy and demand cheap consumer goods. These things need to be appropriately priced. Non-seasonal fruits, cars, consumer electronics, clothes shipped across half the world, air travel. Aside from cars, things that people can live without. They should be priced as a luxury. (Carbon tax maybe?)

But if you began pricing these things appropriately, you'd probably see a very bad reaction. Which is why you have a good point.
