What’s a common “fact” that’s spread around that’s actually not true and pisses you off that too many people believe it?

    It’s a nice “gotcha” you’re trying do. These companies emit because they are producing goods and services for us, the people, right?

    No.

    The point of blaming 10 companies for 70% of emissions, most of whom are fossil fuel energy companies, is that we have the technology and the resources to begin a 100% switch over to cleaner energy sources today. But these 10 companies make obscene profits and use those profits to control the political system and prevent that switchover.

    We don’t have to use fossil fuels to maintain our society, but these companies use their influence to make sure we do it anyways.
