These 100 Companies Are Responsible For The Climate Crisis

Paper straws won’t save us. We need politics

100companies are responsible for 71% of greenhouse gas emissions¹. They are all energy and mining companies. If we don’t stop these 100 companies, our children’s future will go up in smoke. This is unfortunately much harder than it looks.

These companies are giant corporations running giant machinery stripping the earth of resources. I’ve looked through most of their websites and they’re pretty scary looking. But this isn’t a case of bad guys burning fossil fuels for lols. They fulfill a real demand. They fulfill our demand.

These companies produce the energy that props up governments, societies and economies all over the world. If these companies ceased operations overnight it would prevent climate change but it would also lead to the collapse of the global economy and every major state. Which would be bad. It’s like being shot now or stabbed later.

This is why nothing substantive seems to be happening on climate change. Because it would involve real sacrifice. Not giving up plastic straws or beef or ‘extra’ flights. All good…
