    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.

      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.
