    I agree with this point, it doesn’t make sense. Like, do we attribute all of Tesla/SpaceX etc. carbon emissions to Elon personally? Amazon/BlueHorizon to Jeff Bezos? …and so on.

    Like, if those two individuals were Thanos-snapped out of existence, what would be the actual impact on carbon emissions? Because those companies would likely continue on without much change.

      I suppose you could assign portions of carbon emissions from the company overall based on portions of shares owned. Shrug
