I wish people would stop using this fact in a misleading way. It is all over the internet and people misunderstand it. Don’t you read the stuff you reference.

(Just 100 companies have been responsible for more than 70% of global greenhouse gas emissions since 1988, according to the Carbon Majors Report of 2017.)

The report says “Direct operational emissions and emissions from the use of sold products.” The producers are not responsive for the emissions from the use of their sold products, the users of those products are. If we did not want and use those products they would not produce them and the emissions would drop. If you eliminated those 100 companies, emissions would not drop, someone else would fill the demand and maybe emissions would rise because the new producers might be less efficient and less environmentally conscious. The companies are not the problem or at least not the whole problem, demand is the problem. We need to cut demand and I would suggest we force that cut in demand by rationing.

The companies do try to stimulate demand and they do fight against regulations that would cut demand. So we have to fight that.
