A mere 57 mega polluters produce bulk of the world's greenhouse gas emissions, new analysis shows
www.abc.net.au
Just 57 mega polluters are responsible for the bulk of the world's greenhouse gas emissions and most big fossil fuel players have increased, rather than decreased, their output since the Paris Agreement in 2015, a staggering new report finds.

On the one hand, it makes it really hard to stay motivated with the teeny contribution I make to reducing emissions.
On the other, think of how much of a difference these 57 companies could make if they actually reached net-zero targets.

    Why do they show nuclear cooling towers as “pollution” in a thumbnail? That is only water vapor. Pollution is a serious issue and all, but if they are that dumb about where actual emissions come from in imagery, what does that mean for the article?

        Many forms of powerplants use these types of cooling towers. The real reason usually is, that they make really impressive plumes though. Just makes for a good visual even though it’s not technically a relevant image.
