    But they are not the ones causing climate change

    The owners of google are capitalists. They are as responsible for climate change as any other capitalist.

      Capitalists serve customers and do not operate in a vacuum. This finger pointing does nothing productive.

        Capitalists have captured regulation and to a large extent democracy in the US. So finger pointing towards them is entirely useful. Especially given they spend good money to point the finger at us.

        Capitalists serve customers hoard wealth through reckless profiteering irregardless of the costs to the rest of human society and do not operate in a vacuum.

        FTFY. I do agree with your last part, though. The political racketeer establishments that enable them and the fascist security institutions that protect them are equally as culpable as they are.
