So, 44% of their profits are in fact 100% of our futures? That money didn’t come from nowhere. All of us will pay that debt. Reporting needs to start reflecting that, and legislation needs to be enacted to get restitution. Until then, it’s all toothless.
(Commented this elsewhere on this article being posted, but I think it’s important enough to say again.)
I hate those kind of arguments… Those corporations produce stuff that people want, and usually can’t even be made without emissions.
And I hate these arguments. Corporations still choose to produce those things. They could choose not to. Why should they be allowed to do anything just because “people want” something?
That’s just how the world works… If enough people want it, somebody will eventually start creating that product.
There are four ways forward:
- Corporations choose willingly to reduce emissions (and probably die in the process as their prices are no longer competitive)
- ALL corporations band together to reduce emissions
- ALL consumers band together to purchase only from corporations that have low or no emissions
- Government forces consumers and corporations to reduce emissions.
So in the real world, there is only one way forward.
