Analysis reveals many big producers increased output of fossil fuels and related emissions in seven years after Paris climate deal
A mere 57 #oil, #gas, #coal and #cement producers are directly linked to 80% of the world’s #GreenhouseGas #GHG emissions since the 2016 #Paris climate agreement, a study has shown.
This powerful cohort of state-controlled corporations and shareholder-owned multinationals are the leading drivers of the climate crisis, according to the Carbon Majors Database, which is compiled by world-renowned researchers." ... "During this period, the biggest investor-owned contributor to emissions was #ExxonMobil of the #UnitedStates, which was linked to 3.6 gigatonnes of CO2 over seven years, or 1.4% of the global total. Close behind were #Shell, #BP, #Chevron and #TotalEnergies, each of which was associated with at least 1% of global emissions."
Breaking news :/ Based on daily data, the atmospheric CO2 concentration at Mauna Loa averaged ~424.0 ppm over May 2023. That's ~3.0 ppm higher than last year, and that's a lot. It is also the highest monthly average on record, and most probably of the last 15 million years.
#Introduction. Hello fediverse 👋, I'm new here. I work on #peatlands as part of a fab team of scientists at James Hutton Institute in Scotland (UK): I study their bugs, beasties and plants, their #greenhousegas emissions, how to monitor their health (condition) using #remotesensing and how to get the best out of #restoration efforts. Here's a photo of one of our pre-restoration sites, monitored using #eddycovariance for GHG fluxes and various #hydrology pieces of kit.
