Study reveals how much carbon damage would cost corporations if they paid for their emissions

The world's corporations produce so much climate change pollution, it could eat up about 44% of their profits if they had to pay damages for it, according to a study by economists of nearly 15,000 public companies.

    I hate those kind of arguments... Those corporations produce stuff that people want, and usually can't even be made without emissions.

      "Stuff people want" isn't really an excuse.

      A morbidly obese 800lb land whale, incapable of moving because they've fused with their bed, wants food.

      A heroin addict, track marks on their dick, wants heroin.

      A suicidal individual wants to unalive themself.

      Do you give them the food that will contribute to their death?

      Do you give them the heroin that will either kill them or contribute to their death?

      Do you hand them a gun?
