Guardian has partnered with leading scientists and NGOs to unveil a fossil fuel company that sustains the climate crisis through proprietary data, research and analysis. Some of them accelerated the extraction of coal, oil and gas. Earth and humanity became clear
The survey involved more than 20 guardian journalists working around the world in the last six months.
The project focuses on what the company has extracted from the ground since 1965 and the resulting emissions. Analysis conducted by Richard Heede of the Institute for Climate Responsibility calculates how much carbon is emitted throughout the supply chain. Extraction for use by consumers. "The fact that consumers burn fuel with carbon dioxide, water, heat and pollutants doesn't stop fossil fuel companies that they are responsible for deliberately perpetuating the carbon age and accelerating the climate crisis against existing threats," Heede said. "He said.
One of the goals of this project is to shift the focus of the discussion from individual responsibility to power structures. Therefore, our reporters examined the financial and lobbying structures that allowed fossil fuel companies to continue to grow, and found out which politicians voted for change.
Another goal of the project is to help governments and businesses narrow the gap between ambitious long-term commitments and poor short-term measures. The United Nations says the next decade is important for the world to avoid the most deadly consequences of global warming. It was never urgent to increase our dependence on fossil fuels and accelerate the transition to renewable energy.
