Note that this represents who extracted, rather than who burned. Responsibility for burning fossil fuels is much more broadly distributed.

    We 100% can blaim them. Those companies activly block alternatives and try to destroy them. They put massive resources in lobbying, PR and so forth for that very purpose, while knowing full well what is going on in terms of climate change. They even transformed our political systems, to allow them to pollute for longer. We have the technology to go fully away from fossil fuels for decades and it keeps getting better. These companies are the reason we have not deployed more of them.

    Obviously starving them is a good path, but I want to stab them too. We have to stop extracting and we have to stop consuming. Both has to happen and right now.
