I snapshotted one page (25% of corporate and state producing fossil fuel entities account for 51% of global greenhouse gas emissions, while 100 producers account for 71% of global GHG emissions):

1. Wow. Imagine what they could accomplish for the human race if they

gave a shit about it.

[CousinIT]

2. They only give a shit about their own profits. Destroying the entire planet for MONEY.

These are the entities fighting tooth and nail to remove all environmental regulations. Right now, many of them or their representatives or former CxO goons are the ones running the US EPA.

They're destroying the only planet humanity depends on for life.

They're destroying the human race.

For private PROFIT.

Can there BE anything more immoral than that?

I don't think so.

5. not "they" it's us - all of us - in our daily consumption.

The time to start using less is now.

[Squinch]

7. Yes. I agree. I see the huge "compensation" cars and trucks

that have become normal sights on our roads and I want to shake those people.

Also, if we could shake our dependence on fossil fuels, about 75% of wars would end and problems cease to exist.

8. No kidding. The damn things are like shiny tanks.

You can't see over, through, or around them. I guess the pencil-dick, one-brain-cell amoebas inside feel oh-so-safe, but no one else on the road is safe from them!

I hate those things. Can't imagine what it costs to fill one up with gas. Must be half a weekly paycheck or more.

9. I live in a relatively urban area. No one needs a vehicle like that.

I see them on the road and my first thought is, "asshole."

I have a friend who is a landscaper. He needed a new truck for work. He couldn't find anything because they're all tricked out for the weekend warrior so they're impractical for any real work, and the price for them has been driven up ridiculously. He ended up overhauling his old truck.

10. Ridiculous that it's that hard to find a basic work truck.

Wow.

3. Governments would rather ignore this and micro manage people lives instead.

4. China Iran and Russia are 1,2 and 3?

I'm sure if we nationalized our energy mining and drilling activities we'd be up there too. It's really up to all of us in our activities every day including today, so challenge yourself to use less. It's not companies that are the problem here it's all of the customers ie me and you.

[CousinIT]

6. I'd say it's both. Nothing is stopping them from moving to renewables

Except greed.

11. Looks like a little regulation can go a long way.
