We're talking about investments, they count for example if someone invests in an appliance factory, the emissions of the appliances are billed to the investor.

But of course those emissions are also the responsibility of whoever buys, and operates the appliance.

Because virtually every company and factory is owned by somebody, they've managed to put all the emissions into the responsibility of the owner of the factory, and they give regular people zero responsibility.

I'll ask you: if I fly on a plane, who's responsible for the emissions? Me for flying? Or the owner of the airplane for operating it?
