    What do this corporations do to cause 80% of emissions? Just burn it for fun?

    No. They make products and services that people buy. Making out people play no part in this doesn’t help anyone.

      Just burn it for fun?

      The degree to which businesses prioritize political patronage over economic efficiency can’t be overstated. From Shitcoins to Big Box Retailers, we expend enormous amounts of carbon in pursuit of flights of fancy.

      And all those private jets and helicopters out to remote ecologically preserved vacation spots could definitely be defined as “burning fossil fuels for fun”.
