However, instead of the market naturally transitioning to these cheaper and cleaner energy sources, fossil fuel companies are leveraging their enormous political influence to hinder this shift. They employ tactics such as lobbying, spreading disinformation, and funding politicians who support fossil fuels, all in an effort to maintain their dominance and profits in the energy market.

Which lets you know we don’t live in a democracy. This is the definition of an oligarchy.

Or perhaps you begin arbitrarily counting other things twice in your calculations. Then they look better.

My point isn’t that item X doesn’t pollute, just that the graph in question is less useful in it’s nature and aimed at being alarmist.

That would be my uneducated guess as well. Taking everything like processing, shipping, storing, growing the feed and all it requires into account for meat production, I would be shocked if it weren’t higher than passenger vehicles combined.

Forgive me if I’m misunderstanding this but weren’t the SUVs already calculated in the countries’ bars? Of course something globally combined that burns fuel is going to be significant. I imagine sedans and coupes wouldn’t be very far behind. This smacks of a “Statistically, everyone has one testicle” type of thing.

Are we just picking out things that we can add to the graph? Like, can I choose farts or barbques?

Laypeople don’t make the distinction between bees. They want to “Save the bees”, not save the honey bees. Of course the sentiment will be exploited by an industry.
