Summary
Half of the world’s CO2 emissions in 2023 came from just 36 fossil fuel companies, including Saudi Aramco, ExxonMobil, and Shell, according to a new report.
These firms produced over 20 billion tonnes of CO2, worsening the climate crisis despite global commitments to reduce emissions.
State-owned enterprises, especially in China, also dominate the list.
The findings support legal efforts to hold fossil fuel companies accountable for climate damage. Experts warn that continued fossil fuel expansion contradicts net-zero goals, as 2023 was the hottest year on record.
Global warming is about to destroy a large fraction of the world and it is mostly caused by these CO2 emissions, so, we should absolutely decreased them. This being said whatever the number of companies, would it be 36, 22 or 10 producing fuels, if we didn’t use these fuels, no companies would be producing them in the first place.
Mechanism to decrease CO2 might have to go through lawsuits, whatever. But putting the blame on theses is stupid : it’s just a way to deny our collective responsibility.
Thank you !
