Big thanks to Bill and Melinda for sponsoring this one, make sure to check out their annual letter that's just been released: http://www.inflcr.co/SH1jL#Gate...
That statement is just completely wrong. The correct statement should be ‘70% of the emissions from oil and cement products can be linked to 100 companies’. And linked means produced here. It also includes the products these companies sell so it also includes: the CO2 of the production of your PC, some of the electricity your PC used, recycling your PC,…
It’s basically the 100 biggest oil companies. They themselves make roughly 12% of this pollution, bit that is only made to produce the oil.
Companies are also not just producing CO2. No one is polluting for fun. It’s all done to create products for customers. Less products=less co2. Ofc it might be possible to reduce emissions in production, but producing less is the easiest and will be needed, especially ppl from the West. Don’t be fooled, even with all the ‘greener’ industry and all heavy industry moved elsewhere, we still produce multiple times the amount of CO2 per Capita than China or India.
THANK YOU! The “it’s all the corporations” is what the corporations REALLY want people to believe because then people can buy the crap from them guilt free.
It is really quite simple. This is directed at the US. Car dependent design has to change. We have to eat leftovers. We need to eat a lot less beef. The cars we drive can’t be canyoneros or monster trucks. Fast fashion has to stop. No more coal power. Stop building methane plants. We need to stop buying cheap throwaway crap. We need to rebuild our rail network and upgrade it to HSR. Get rid of methane in homes. If we do all that, our wallets will be fatter too.
