There can be no cherry picking of facts. There has to be a comprehensive view of the reductions. There have been strategies to dismiss the climate crisis. The compliance to reductions of GHG (greenhouse gases) must take place and it must be known.

“Currently, companies consume half of all electricity produced so any solution for reducing global emissions has to address the electricity sector,” said Mary Sotos, Associate, World Resources Institute and lead author. “This guidance will let companies know exactly how their energy choices count toward their emissions goals. By providing rigorous reporting methods, the Guidance gives a clear incentive for companies to demand low-carbon electricity.”
Four years in the making, the Scope 2 Guidance was developed in consultation with over 200 representatives from companies, electric utilities, government agencies, academics, industry associations and civil society groups in 23 countries. The report offers case studies of 12 companies that have already used the new guidance, including Mars, Facebook, Google, and EDF Energy. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has been part of the process and supports the new guidance....
