Guardian’s 71% claim misleads

Heath argues The Guardian’s headline—'Just 100 companies responsible for 71% of global emissions'—misrepresents the Carbon Majors Database by implying private corporations are the main culprits when the list includes states and state‑owned firms. He notes less than half of those emissions are from investor‑owned companies and only two of the top ten emitters are private. — Misattributing responsibility distorts climate accountability narratives and undercuts efforts to regulate or criminalize 'misinformation' in a content‑neutral way.
