Note that this represents who extracted, rather than who burned. Responsibility for burning fossil fuels is much more broadly distributed.

    Am I reading this correctly? The headline sounds misleading. 80% of fossil fuel and cement GHGs, which is all the linked database appears to track. It doesn’t touch on other industries or contextualize what portion of total GHGs come from those industries (obviously a lot, but how much?)

      8% of ghg is due to making cement and about 75% of ghg is from fossil fuels. So about 66% are from the 57 companies.
