"Major oil companies have in recent years made splashy climate pledges to cut their greenhouse gas #emissions and take on the #climate crisis, but a new report suggests those plans do not stand up to scrutiny.
The US firms Chevron, ConocoPhillips and ExxonMobil each ranked “grossly insufficient” on all 10 criteria."
NREL’s Open-Source Vehicle & Mobility Tools Offer Routes to Reduce Transportation Energy Use, Emissions

New Meta-Study Confirms The Effectiveness Of Carbon Pricing
"A study led by the climate research institute MCC in Berlin found that #CarbonPricing systems contributed to a reduction in #emissions ranging from 5% to 21% during their initial years of implementation."
#Exxon remains the largest US producer of #oil and #gas and the biggest emitter of CO2 among investor-owned companies. The Texas-based company also has the weakest #emissions-reduction targets among the world’s “oil supermajors,” according to Carbon Tracker https://buff.ly/4akfWo4
In case you are thinking humanity is getting CO2 #emissions under control, I have this graph for you.
This is not the absolute CO2 level in the atmosphere, but its growth rate. Think for a second what this growth rate would have to be so we can stay below 1.5 or 2deg warning.
Right, this growth rate would have to be negative: fewer emissions this year than last year.
Of course, it's not. It's worse, much worse. The growth is still growing!! It's not even constant.

It's just about DISCLOSURE
(Why are they so scared of daylight)
