definitely not agreeing with Yinchie as i think more humans = more innovation = less climate change, but i think it's important to remember that corporations serve the people generally... the reason these corporations exist is because of market demand from people, individual human people

The problem with the statement is the energy sector is the releasing the most greenhouse gasses by far. A small group of transnational corporations lobby for dependence on coal and oil, where individuals don't really get a say.

Yes but no one is demanding the corporations to release tons of carbon into the atmosphere. The demand is (for example) "I want to get from home to work and then back" and the onus should be on the corporation to make sure that demand is met sustainably.

But corporations are driven by the consumption of people. Without people there would be no consumption and no corporations.

Wrong. Humans are the cause. And corporations does not generate more than the farmers. Less humans and less farms equals lower co2 emissions. #facts
