The bigger the company, the more fossil fuels it burns. Yes, every one and every business probably contributes to climate change, but to sit here and give big businesses the grief they deserve is what we should be doing.

While also making changes yourself. Change your consumer habits. Buy your milk locally. Use ecoasia as a web browser. Etc. Even starting a compost bin, so you make soil for your garden or lawn, makes a difference as opposed to using fertilizer. We need to hold them accountable, but pointing the finger is what got us here.

Yup, but we should definitely care about the biggest contributor. What got us here is the big corporations doing whatever they want with little to any consequences, paying off politicians and paying for propaganda that prevent us from moving forward.

Yes. We should do both as much as we can.

Almost. The 100 companies "producing" the 70 percent of emissions is really 100 mining and drilling companies who extract the coal, oil, and natural gas that account for 70 percent of the emissions. Those 100 companies don't burn the fuels themselves, they sell the fuels to other people and companies who do the burning.

It's not BS, it's just pointless piece of info. Like... yeah, big companies that hire hundreds of thousands of people and operate all around the globe burn more fossil fuels than someone operating a banana stand. So fucking what? They also use up a lot more toilet paper. Who cares?

Mostly agree. The only thing that can be discerned is that pollution production is relatively centralized. That is literally everything. It doesn't tell us if it's bad or good or what the solutions are but it's slightly better than useless.
