The top 20 highest greenhouse forcing entities collectively accounted for 17.5 GtCO2e in emissions in 2023. The list is dominated by state-owned entities, which make up 16 of the top 20, and includes a significant presence of Chinese entities, eight of which accounted for 17.3% of global fossil fuel and cement #CO2 emissions in 2023.

"Actor Quits Vegan Diets 'Cuz Corporations'?!"

A Mic 🎤 the vegan video.

Mic gets into the source of the "57 corporations" for the general audience (it's, of course, the Carbon Majors report from this year). The whole point about these corporations is misleading, they are fossil fuel corporations and cement corporations, mostly state owned.

In the "urgency" strategy, one can imagine a forceful shut down of these corporations. Sure, that helps. But now the stuff sold by those corporations is gone.

So, here's the question:

Are these "corporations tho" people ready for the polluting corporations to be wiped out of existences? And let's not stop at the top 50, there are plenty more to wipe out.

If they're not ready, what are they doing to get ready?

Nothing? Well, that's called Business As Usual, it's essential to conservatism, which is why Colbert's audience clapped.

“The #CarbonMajors database makes it dramatically easier to document, calculate, and visually demonstrate the growing chasm between the urgent demands of climate reality and the continued reckless and intentional growth of oil and gas production,” said Carroll Muffet, President and CEO of the Center for International Environmental Law #CIEL.

#CarbonMajors is a database of historic production data from 122 of the world’s largest oil, gas, coal, and cement producers.

• Investor-owned companies account for 31% of emissions, with Chevron, ExxonMobil, and BP the three largest contributors.
• State-owned companies are linked to 33%, with Saudi Aramco, Gazprom, and the National Iranian Oil Company being the largest contributors.
• Nation-states account for the remaining 36%.

Claims against emitters responsible for large-scale greenhouse gas emissions

"Climate contribution science can potentially be used to quantify the cumulative contribution of greenhouse gas emissions from each emitter. By identifying the individual emitter’s contribution and using modelling to compare and observe climate data with global climate simulations that include and exclude its influence, causation of severe weather events may be established. This could lead to findings in favour of the insurer when stepping into the shoes of the insured to recover costs for property damage caused by climate related fire weather events resulting from greenhouse gas emissions of major emitters."

Environmental Defenders Office · Is attribution science the silver bullet that could help hold greenhouse gas emitters accountable? - Environmental Defenders OfficeThe main driver for the growing areas burnt by fire is Australia’s increasingly severe fire weather, accounting for 75% of the variation observed in the total annual area of forest fires. This is consistent with predictions from climate change scenarios that severe fire weather conditions will intensify due to increasing greenhouse gas emissions.[1] Is it [...]Read More...
