Just 100 companies responsible for 71% of global emissions, study says
- mac01021 7y agoThis is weird. They might as well say "Fossil fuel companies are responsible for 100% of global emissions". There is a sense in which it is true, but the statement seems to me to be neither informative nor helpful.
- hjk05 7y agoIt’s helpful in the sense that the problem is concentrated at the origin. So arguments like “it’s impossible to get everyone in every country to work towards a solution” fall flat. Law makers could sit down with 100 representatives and hash out a solution with a very confined effort, you don’t actually need to onboard the entire human population to get things moving.
