Despite splashy climate pledges, firms including BP and Saudi Aramco have plans to expand fossil fuel production, says analysis
In recent years, virtually all of the world’s largest oil companies have made splashy climate pledges. But when it comes to actually slashing emissions, those firms are “way off track”, a new report has found.
The analysis from the thinktank Carbon Tracker assessed the production and transition plans of 25 of the world’s largest oil and gas companies. None align with the central goal of the 2015 Paris climate agreement to keep global warming “well under” 2 degrees above pre-industrial levels, the report found.
“Companies worldwide are publicly stating they are supportive of the goals of the Paris-Agreement, and claim to be part of the solution in accelerating the energy transition,” said Maeve O’Connor, analyst at Carbon Tracker and co-author of the report. “Unfortunately, however, we see that none are currently aligned with the goals of the Paris agreement.”
“off track” like they ever gave a shit
These people are basically monsters.
They’ve knowingly and willingly set their greed above everyone and everything living on the planet.
Literal cartoon villain style shit. Knowingly stymying climate research, funding what are essentially disinformation campaigns… All for greed and selfishness.
I weep for the future and for what the children of today will never get to have because of monsters like this.
I know the perfect exercise.
People know that these companies make money by doing the opposite of environmental needs right?
The only way th se companies support the goals is to either drastically change their business model, or stop existing…
Goals are free. Results hurt the bottom line.
