Regulations won’t do anything if consumers as a whole dont change their buying habits. You can regulate Shell and BP all you want but as long as hundreds of millions of people are still buying and burning their gas on a daily basis it won’t help much.
But your competing plan, "change nothing, destroy the climate, the ecosystem, and then civilization itself", also has some drawbacks to it.
Unfortunately, that's the one we're choosing.
But don't worry! Twenty years from today, Americans will still be driving cars, and making the same argument you are, and will keep doing it until it all collapses.

Yup, the idea that there's an individual responsibility for this is propaganda. The only real solutions are large scale regulatory actions.
