Problem is the wording in the article has some words/phrases which do a lot of heavy lifting, like “traced back”; from the tweet, I would have thought the report would say the produced the emissions.
Like oil companies like Chevron are in the top 10 based on all the cars that use their gas.
That’s not really different than other companies, though, is it? Every company on the planet only produces carbon emissions in the effort to gain a profit in some way, through shipping, farming, etc. If we’re going to hold companies accountable for things like shipping emissions and waste, gas companies shouldn’t get a pass just because their product is the thing making the emissions.
While I’m not claiming the respondent is wrong, can I get a citation for this data so I know who to try to work with to help reduce their emissions?
From a study done back in 2017. It has probably gotten even worse since then, but that’s the most recent one I found.

It’s real data but it’s kind of a weird methodology. Like oil companies like Chevron are in the top 10 based on all the cars that use their gas.
Not to say the sentiment in this meme is wrong at all, just that this specific study is weird.
