100 companies responsible for 71% of greenhouse gas emissions
This article makes out like the companies themselves are directly responsible, rather than the customers of these companies, i.e. you and me. We cause these companies to pollute by creating a market demand for their products or services. Not to say there&#x27;s not things a company can do to improve it&#x27;s efficiency, but ultimately, a company isn&#x27;t going to keep their factories firing away if no one is buying their stuff.<p>The same argument can be applied when people look at China and think they are the problem because of their high use of coal and manufacturing industry. Well, I&#x27;d guess that a lot of their output is going to Western consumers, so again, it is they who are responsible.
