57 companies linked to 80% of greenhouse gas emissions since 2016
A mere 57 oil, gas, coal and cement producers are directly linked to 80% of the world’s greenhouse gas emissions since the 2016 Paris climate agreement, a study
- Only 57 fossil fuels and cement producers have been responsible for most of the world's CO2 emissions since 2016, according to the Carbon Majors report by InfluenceMap
- Saudi Aramco, Gazprom, and Coal India were the top three CO2-emitting companies during this period.
- InfluenceMap's database aims to increase transparency around climate change contributors for legal, academic, campaign, and investor purposes.

Most of the world's carbon emissions come from burning fossil fuels, so, yes, it would be those fossil fuel producers who would be linked to those emissions. I suppose we could all come together and force those companies to shut down and cease operations immediately. Global greenhouse gas emissions would plummet, but the global economy would collapse and there would be mass starvation and death.
So, lets start by building food sources as much removed from oil as possible.
Invest into low-energy housing.
Continue with green energy.
Stop building everything else.
Forget about economy, planned obsolence, and start discussing distribution of natural resources and investing into science.
"Forget about the economy" is an impossible sell in every nation. Even command economies are obsessed with economic numbers, and not without reason. When the economy declines, so does people's quality of life.
They're the ones who have kept us from putting anything else in place though.

Force, how?
Well, its very hard to rape the earth with an extra hole in your head. Or so I'm told; ive never actually tried myself.
Right?! These posts are so dumb. And yes, some people think we should force fossil fuels immediately off the map. But, ya know, mass starvation and death. You forgot war. Basically the worst parts of the Bible.
But, ya know, mass starvation and death.
What exactly do you think will follow if we keep on destroying the Earth? Or are you just ok with that scenario because it will likely be after you got yours?
