Why does it make sense to compare global CO2 emissions to WeWork's CO2 emissions? One company with one decision making an 0.1% reduction on global CO2 annually

Why does it make sense to compare global CO2 emissions to WeWork's CO2 emissions?
One company with one decision making an 0.1% reduction on global CO2 annually sounds pretty darn good to me.
- rfrey 8y agoI read mkempe's comment as agreeing that it sounds pretty darned good... in fact too good to be credible.

- drb91 8y agoIt should sound good—unbelievably good. This is why the global comparison makes sense: it implies wework is already using at least 0.1% of the world’s C02 production. Which seems absurd for 1/4000000th of the world population. Maybe they were just letting cows rot in their pantry, I dunno.
