It found that 90% of the emissions attributed to the top 20 climate culprits was from use of their products, such as petrol, jet fuel, natural gas, and thermal coal. One-tenth came from extracting, refining, and delivering the finished fuels.

I think it's nonsense to blame producers of products we all use, enjoy, and have brought the world into the advanced state that we are. If you want to allocate emissions, you do it on consumption, not production. That list is largely meaningless.
