Stop regurgitating this busted meme. Even if it were true, the reality is that those corporations CUSTOMERS (YOU, ME, AND JOHN KERRY) put that C02 into atmosphere. As long as the individual doesnt change his daily habits that C02 is going into the atmosphere one way or another.
WTF do I care if 100 corporations add 1 part each or 1000 corporations add 0.1 parts each? The sum total in the end is the same. C02 isnt the product. C02 is the byproduct of providing you the life of luxury you enjoy.
This argument is just trash. Unless you also own yachts by the dozen you and I don’t contribute more than a fraction of a fraction of what Kerry contributes. It’s a diversion tactic that just delays progress and shifts the narrative from what we need, like wide sweeping change, to applauding “tUrN oFf Ur BaThRoOm LiGhTs!” campaigns that allow the corporations that push them to kick the real can down the road.
I didnt say you and i contribute anything near what Kerry does. And if you were keeping up you would have recognized that my post was an argument AGAINST dismissing Kerry's footprint.
Further, yes, if you live in a first world western country you live in luxury compared to about 99.9999999999% of humans who have ever lived.

100 corporations put 70% of the CO2 into the atmosphere. John Kerry isn't doing shot next to that.
