"Unveiling the 57 Companies Responsible for 80% of Global Carbon Emissions"

A study reveals that just 57 oil, gas, coal, and cement producers are responsible for 80% of global greenhouse gas emissions since the 2016 Paris climate agreement, with most increasing their output of fossil fuels despite pledges to cut emissions. The Carbon Majors Database, compiled by researchers, highlights the significant role of state-controlled corporations and shareholder-owned multinationals in driving the climate crisis, with Chinese state coal production accounting for the largest share of historic global CO2 emissions. The study underscores the need for accountability and action from these energy giants to address the consequences of their activities and mitigate the threat of climate change.
