57 companies are responsible for 80% of global greenhouse gas emissions since 2016.
These companies include fossil fuel giants like Chevron, Shell, and BP, who have been raking in record profits.
The profits of Big Oil should not be more important than the future of our planet.

The GOP who blame fire hydrants & non-white Christian male fire chiefs.
Correct me if wrong 🙏
True.
Now I'd like to ask for an advice.
I want to charge my EV car.
Should we
a) punish such companies by not using their charging networks (like "Shell Recharge")
or
b) set incentives by using them?
It seems there is little incentive to change until it happens to you.

The extreme fires, floods, and storms are not signs and wonders of some divinely determined End Times. This is what 1.5 degrees Celsius above preindustrial global average temperatures looks like. Greed did this, not God.

We don’t need money in politics. We just need people to participate.

Today, they're in toddler mode: "Well, BP created the CO2 footprint, so the opposite is true, and I have no responsibility and am entitled to the same lnfestyle regardless."
Uh-oh.
We win HUGE IN 2026 when we always tie the insanity to the economy.
“Donald Trump has pledged to scrap President Biden's policies on electric vehicles and wind energy, as well as other initiatives opposed by the fossil fuel ...” (Washington Post,5/9/24)
If people don’t want the CO2, they shouldn’t buy the products ….
Companies will change their behaviours pretty quick in response.
I agree governments should intervene but if they don’t ……….
I remember aerosol propellants causing holes in the ozone layer.
In truth as consumers, we all push demand - drive more, we fly more … etc.
What would you have us do? Do you believe the existing systems and parties and ideologies will fix this mess?
And if not, then what?
Completely disgusted with all of them.
It's time to do something drastic...
Felonies? The corp goes to prison (operates under strict supervision, all revenues go to restitution).
Murder? Death (corp is shut down and assets sold to pay restitution).

We are all complicit. Them…and us
Come on. We all need to take responsibility. The learned helplessness and lack of willingness to acknowledge any kind of accountability for your own externalities is infuriating. People are the problem and the solution.
MOST westerners live in relative luxury and absolutely do not pay any kind of reasonable price for their externalities. It’s fair to demand things like right to repair etc, but you need
we have been herded by them. they wanted to sell cars so they advertised them and made sure infrastructure was in place to accommodate them and made jaywalking a crime. the car companies created this. it wasn't pure demand.
We burn it.
They don’t give it to me. I have to buy it.
Or is it because the water isn't there?
This is where consumers are completely ignorant of the realities of how the products they buy are made.
These companies are generating all this pollution to produce the oil, plastics & other by-products that YOU all buy.
OK. No more eyeglasses. They are made of plastic. Plastic is oil. Done. Society has made the choice that it is too polluting.
If not glasses then what? No more heating oil. Sorry folks, we have decreed that those in colder climates will just have to freeze.
If not that, then what?
It’s our use of their products that drives their profits.
Taxing those companies deals with a symptom of the problem, and not the problem itself.
People will still buy.
Demand is the issue, not supply.
Compare taxes people pay to use gasoline in Europe vs the U.S.
Using gasoline is 4x more expensive in Canada than the U.S.
We have done this to ourselves.
Demand is the issue, not supply.
When we've ALREADY reached 1.5 °C of global warming.

So we relentlessly hound the wealthy until THEY dismantle the Filthy Rich.

why are you and I the only sane people here ?
some 20,000 odd people "liked" the OP
pathetic !!
when we will have about 10 Billion neighbors on this sphere.
Will our children’s children wake up to the “American Dream?”
Or will it have become a nightmare beyond imagining!
Reducing CO2? Massive changes needed. No car or smaller car, more bike or transit use, higher power bills, no gas stove...
or people with private jets, or large vacation homes ?
why do these people seem to get a pass here
Where could those record profits be coming from?
Are you a bot?
There is scattered support for that in blue states, but you ain’t gonna be president without winning some red states
Democrats even built a bullet train from LA to Vegas, and Nevada’s reward for dems was voting for trump. Voters would rather have no plan, then a plan to deal with global warming.
Trump’s benefactors
The Courts are even more Corrupted than That...
Which would Explain why He needs Diapers
Which convinces me that as long as the activities continue, humans will not make the changes needed to avert the impending climate-envirogeddon.

Chinese state coal =14% of global C02, biggest share by far in the database. More than 2x the proportion of the former Soviet Union, which is 2nd, 3x higher than Saudi Aramco (3rd).
I’ll go along with taxing BP etc, but what’s the plan for the Top 3??

However, if anyone knows of an arts organization, union or pension capable of thinking outside the box 📦, I am looking forward to doing a lot of good at something else (see 📌).

that is the consequence of disconnect of the top from the rest.

Their baseline.
Their starting point.
It just gets worse from there, and it doesn't take long to ramp up, either.

What would you do with an extra $11,000 each year?
More recently (2023) the author & Abigail Disney engaged in similar issues in a great pod
