    Aren’t they renting them out most of the time, making their customer the main culprits?

      China and India are renting out their factories to create shit ton of things for the whole world. When the statistics come out, they get blamed for it regardless of the countries profiting off their pollution. why should this be different?

      The money from renting it out doesn’t go towards the environment to my knowledge. It’s still not beneficial to anyone but themselves, thus the list makes no distinction.

      They’re also not forced to rent them out. They make the decision to trade climate damage for money which is doubly dubious when they probably do not need the money.
