    Reminder that 100% of those 100 corporations are fuel producers, and the 71% figure is based on counting all emissions from all the fuel they produce as theirs.

    This take is as smooth brained as blaming gun violence on the largest firearm manufacturers.

      Exactly. These companies thrive because you give them money.

      Want to hurt corporations? Stop driving everywhere. Stop buying a new phone every second year. If you insist on buying clothes as a recreational activity, restrict yourself to vintage and give the shit you never wear away to charity. If you have to, drive a used car for 20 years rather than buying a new EV every fifth one. Buy locally. Cut down on meat. That’ll stick it to 'em.

      No, This take is 100% correct but should ALSO include the %ages of fuel USED BY END USERS and explain 100% of what what the producers OUTRIGHT WASTE in bringing them that needed fuel.

      Yeah. It’s sexier to live with fossil fuels than without, so that’s what we do.

      If it was sexier to forego fossil fuels, that’s what we would be doing.

        We collectively decided to use up the world’s stock of phosphorus (a lot of which had been in fossil fuels apparently?) and have a population boom. I don’t know what the next century or two will look like, but I’m not optimistic.
