The article is kind of stupid the top 20 are all oil extraction firms. It doesn’t really lead to any insight on what industries are using the oil and where it can be reduced.
I agree. It is the consequence of everything else we do being dependant on oil, and it focuses the conversation on the oil companies instead of the (mega)corporations eating it all up. I think the 'subsequent' part is flawed. Bypasses PPP entirely.
The analysis, by Richard Heede at the Climate Accountability Institute in the US, the world’s leading authority on big oil’s role in the escalating climate emergency, evaluates what the global corporations have extracted from the ground, and the subsequent emissions these fossil fuels are responsible for since 1965 – the point at which experts say the environmental impact of fossil fuels was known by both industry leaders and politicians.
