Why's that? The companies broadly exist to make money for their shareholders, and the shareholders decide what the company does. Couldn't Exxon's shareholders agree to immediately cease Exxon's oil production, for example?

It’s double counting. You can’t hold the shareholders accountable for the emission and then also blame it on the person that burns it in a jet engine.

And what do you think will happen next? That oil production would cease? Or would another company take its place?
