    It should be noted that this report includes emissions from the entire production chain and the use of said item and places it to the company. Someone makes a car and you drive it for 1 000 000km and the company that made the car is now responsible for the pollution you caused by driving. Actually, the companies who made the materials to make the car are responsible, according to the report.

    Although it’s a bit of a disingenuous list as others have pointed out, it’s still a good starting point to use to check any investments (pension funds etc) you have so that you can divest.

      And - oops, you’ve just died of cold.

      To be clear, I think climate change is the most serious threat we face today. I just think these kinds of list need some thought and interpretation

    Its stupid to hold oil extracting companies responsible instead of the end users. Car holders. Manufacturers. Airline companies and al. They are not the one’s burning the hydrocarbons it’s us. We should stop shifting the blame and restructure the economy around what shit we need and what extra shit to stop producing .

    Once demand stops extraction stops.

      i know its kinda inaccurate; they aren’t the only one responsible for said emissions: its a whole chain, from crude oil until the finished product. But if they provide oil as a form of energy, they could then be labeled energy companies, and thus they could be hold accountable for not providing clean energy instead. Just a personal mediocre analysis, nothing to be taken serious here…
