That's ridiculous. Think about it.

OK, so:

1: Global warming is real and happening, please deal.
2: This list is bogus. If we didn't eagerly buy fossil fuels - or products dependent on fossil fuels for their manufacture and transport - oil would be the weird niche product it was in 1900.

Easy fix for that.....open borders!...we'll invite everyone from Central America....our population will explode...and we'll be just like China!

Do you really think global warming cares how many people a country has?....or is it how much CO2 a country emits?

That's like saying you have to stop flushing the toilet because you have a small family....but your neighbor with a large family...can flush more...LOL

...title says "Companies"...has nothing to do with population

"Just 100 companies responsible for 71% of global emissions, study says"

That is the truth.

Pollution isn’t coming from the working class that mow lawns or use electricity, but board rooms that make decisions.

The media lies viciously when they say you should change your actions to stop climate change, all they want to do is protect the rich.

These people will face justice one day, but until then know the carbon tax in France was meant to pin the problems made by corporations onto the working class (after reforming the economy to benefit investment bankers).
You blame these guys now comrade? Are they to blame for the 7 billion world population and a billion Chinese and Indians parking their bicycles in favor of oil burning cars?

Corporations need people to keep polluting so they make money.

That is what market control does.
