Why can't employees voice their concerns to their companies? I imagine such a large company like Amazon, it would be near impossible to get a direct response without something bigger like this. Companies are groups of people working towards a goal/service/whatever and those people all have ideas on how to make the world a better place. If the company wants to shut them down, sure, but companies have ideologies too and don't always have to play the "neutral" card. Which, IMO, climate change shouldn't even be a political issue.

Selling an idea, even one we can prove beyond a reasonable doubt is always going to be a political issue. There's no getting around the fact that nobody is born with an innate sense of statistics.

So is allowing corporations in the first place, that is also not a result of some innate sense of perfect knowledge of everything surrounding the issue.

Too many companies, too many people in them want the cake and eat it, they want societies to uphold their responsibilities towards them, but not the other way around.

It seems like that reasoning would put everything into the bucket of "political issue". I feel like it is more intertwined with forcing people to change (gas cars to EV) OR removing a flow of money (oil industry).

That’s because everything is political—including choosing to be apolitical.
