Surely pretty much EVERY company in the world indirectly funds climate change? Like, even the local takeaway probably does it indirectly.

Causing and funding are two very different terms

But INDIRECTLY funding would apply to practically every business and individual.

You fill your car up? Indirectly funding climate change. Pay for heating? Indirectly funding climate change.

This isn't saying that they shouldn't add more taxes to those oil companies. But they're pretty directly funding climate change, whereas the rest of the world is indirectly funding it.
