How much responsibility do corporations have for the climate crisis and for stepping up with solutions?
Here at the ISCFC we are committed to promoting personal, community, national and planetary solutions to reduce our environmental impacts and boldly confront the climate crisis. But as individuals, we can feel powerless when there are huge corporations -such as the fossil fuel industry and factory farms– that are disproportionately responsible for carbon emissions of the past and the present.
What should we do about this? Do you agree that corporations should do more? And if so, what does that mean exactly? How do we persuade or impel polluting industries to change their ways?

How Much Are Corporations to Blame for Climate Change?
Corporations are the biggest cause of climate change, especially fossil fuel companies such as Chevron and Shell. Richard Heede has found that 90 companies, directly or indirectly, have caused over two-thirds of all the world's carbon emissions. This raises the question, will society be able to hold them accountable for their actions against the world or will we stay silent just because these companies are rich and powerful. It will take a collective effort to make an impact on these companies so it is important that we unite for the sake of our world and future generations.
