Counting the real cost of corporate fossil fuel emissions
Original: Corporations claim their fossil fuel emissions are a drop in the ocean. But what if we could count the real cost?
The Guardian examines a common corporate argument that any single company's fossil fuel emissions are too small to matter, comparing them to 'a drop in the ocean'. The piece challenges this framing by exploring methods to quantify the true cost of emissions, including their environmental and economic impact, and asks whether aggregate corporate responsibility is being understated.
Why now: Ongoing debate over corporate accountability for climate change and how emissions costs should be measured
