Here'e a crazy idea: I'd take a bus or train IF there were decent connections. Taking public transport to work would more than triple my travel time..

Ummm, those 100 corporations don't pollute simply for fun. They are in the business of delivering consumer goods and agricultural products to the people who demand them. They will continue to produce and pollute for as long as it remains profitable.

Look, what I'm getting out of this is that if we ate from a select list of CEOs we could have meat AND put leverage on the corporations...

Corporations creating s**t that individuals buy...

Don't have kids. That's the best thing you can do for the planet.

And add in the absolutely stupidity of our cheeto in chief with him rolling back EPA laws so corporations can start polluting again because there's profit to be had.

Wish I could hack this page and upvote the post more.

remember how the left attacked the right for criticizing CNN? you guys remember that? interesting how that works right

Create the problem then sell the solution

It's too bad passenger trains only connect 60 of the 300+ cities in the United States. Busses are used in only 120 metropolitan areas, and most suburbs aren't connected to any form of metro. If you live near a coast or Chicago trains are convenient, but the Midwest lacks the funding. Europeans are transit spoiled because of the many reconstructions. The US hasn't had an interior war in nearly a century. Guess you can blame peace for so many autos.

... and while we are at it...why not roll back environmental protections for those 100 corporations who get pissed off if they have to spend money to dispose of their toxic waste properly.

The rich get richer and don’t give a damn.

This is true but does NOT absolve us from doing what we can. There are 7 billion of us! Even small changes done by a fraction of the population will add up. And we can put pressure on industry at the same time; it's not either/or.

Find more stuff to plug volcanoes like Mt Pinatubo!

ABSOLUTELY. it's journalistic malpractice AND propaganda.

Thank you for noticing and pointing it out!

Those company emite carbon because we eat more meat, travel more, and use electricity.

I thought farting cows were the problem..

Without counting that global warming has happened before in history and humans could not be blamed for it, (around the first millenium AC) counted in history as a flowering period after getting over the dark cold ages where people had to go south ( aka:Viking razzias) because of the food scarcity. That it's (global warming) a way of bleeding us in even more making us thing it's for a good reason 'to save Gaia from death' The only thing that all this enormous propaganda effort shows us, how gullible we can became when so called expert voices preach things against common sense as in this case. Science and history teach us that the third planet has gone through at least five massive extinctions and maybe six and here we are, we may not but Gaia will at least until her time comes. All this b******t only proves how stupid we are falling again in the big b.... and all their minions hands.

Yeah CNN, YOU eat less meat! And, oh yeah, f**k off too

It would damage the environment to build a railroad or bus line where I live.

You recycling doesn’t help anything either, it creates even more pollution because they’re a whole different setup & those facilities create a lot of pollution. It’s already come to light that corporations ran ads to make individuals think they’re the problem so that they wouldn’t have to make any changes in their production, esp China.

And yet, in my city when the smog gets bad, they tell people not to mow their lawns! Ha!

I'd like to see the names of the corporations.

Well lets start with all the politicans flying home every week to their districts

This is what I’ve said for years.

Reminder that those corporations are providing products and services that people purchase/use which create those GHG emissions, and the same people complaining refuse to stop using those products/services. The report pretty much lays the blame at the feet of fossil fuels companies. Any of you complainers want to give up your fossil fueled vehicle? Stop taking FF flights? No? Huh.

Ahhh, and lets not forget the God and Savior of planet Earth, Al Gore, whose home energy usage is somewhere between 20X to 30X of an average American home...and who can forget all that flying around in private jets to convince us peasants to reduce our carbon footprint. Thank you Al for being so considerate. You definitely lead by example :-/

Let’s not forget the large producers like China and India, a bandage is good for a small cut, but flowing blood should be stopped!

The corporations are technically fulfilling your needs. If consumers stop needing things making then these large companies with huge factories wouldn't be needed.

gosh... i wonder who buys products from those evil corporations and keeps them in business

Yes but earthquaks and vulcano breaks is responsible for most pollution
