Carbon Emissions From Oil Giants Directly Linked to Deadly Heat Waves - WhoWhatWhy
Carbon Emissions From Oil Giants Directly Linked to Deadly Heat Waves for First Time (Maria) The author writes, “Carbon emissions from the world’s biggest fossil fuel companies have been directly linked to dozens of deadly heatwaves for the first time, according to a new analysis. The research has been hailed as a ‘leap forward’ in the legal battle to hold big oil accountable for the damages being caused by the climate crisis. The research found…
Researchers have searched for the influence of global warming in hundreds of heat periods – and have always found it. Who is to blame? According to the researchers, 30 percent of the emissions go back to only 14 polluters.


One in four heatwaves impossible without climate change, study finds
Researchers found that top 14 major carbon polluters – including Saudi Aramco, ExxonMobil, BP, Shell, Gazprom and state coal industries in China and India – account for nearly a third of global heating

Nearly one-quarter of heatwaves would have been ‘virtually impossible’ without global warming — and can be attributed to the emissions of individual energy producers.
