1. This makes more sense…when people told me the planes only add to 5% of global emissions seemed like the lobbyist trying to cover up facts.

   There’s no way we got here from individuals alone.

   It’s coal factories, oil and gas plants, planes and huge industries driving majority of it.

5. We are doomed. It was raining in Antarctica for the first time in history

6. That seems like a lot to be off by. I wonder why.

   >When countries signed the 1992 United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change treaty (UNFCCC), high-income countries were required to report their aviation-related emissions. But 155 middle and lower income countries, including China and India, were not required to report these emissions, although they could do so voluntarily.

   Ah… Well that would be a problem. The world map of who is reporting flight emission is pretty hilarious.

7. This is the thing with every large company/corporation. Scientists numbers on global warming trends are based off of what’s *being reported* by said companies. And if they’re lying…well, things are worse than have been projected.
