There should be a name for this fallacy. Yes, making anything produces emissions if you go back in the supply chain - we don’t have a choice to avoid those emissions at the moment. The point is to make a world where it’s the other way around.
I saw this recently from Apple - there’s no emissions directly in making Apple Watches but they’re going way back in the supply chain to scrub or compensate for emissions.
VISA, MC etc do very well
