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.
true, but some countries like Qatar are wholly relying on oil to exist. Who will it be taxing ? itself ? maybe rest of the world could help tax it by avoiding its products and services (qatari airlines, telecom companies, etc their wealth is disguised under so many forms)
yea: china coal and rio tinto (australian) are separate, albeit the fact that china is importing coal from Australia too, so its probably its domestic production
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.
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..
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 .
We have to change our system, so the right choice is the easy choice. Why do you think the average Frenchman has a third of the per capita emissions of the average US American. It is stuff like a clean electricity grid, working public transport, laws reducing waste and so forth, which make it a lot easier to live low emissions in France then in the US. Not that France is perfect.
on the consumer level, a certain ecological could be followed: like avoiding owning an iphone, an android that lasts for 7-10 years should be fine, a car for 25 years, have the credit of bringing one child per marriage, maximum 2 children from 2 marriages. The rest is government level: ensuring public transportation, producing renewable energy, avoiding useless student debt, buildling insulation..also it helps if politicians dont take lobby money and did actual work to benefit society, and also fend off corporate greed. a single person shouldn't be accountable for all the pollution
