Half of world’s CO2 emissions come from just 32 fossil fuel firms, study shows Critics accuse leading firms of sabotaging climate action but say data increasingly being used to hold them to account

There destruction of humanity is being led by surprisingly few ̶m̶u̶r̶d̶e̶r̶e̶r̶s̶ public and state-owned companies:

"Just 32 fossil fuel companies were responsible for half the global carbon dioxide emissions driving the climate crisis in 2024, down from 36 a year earlier."

"Why It’s Impactful: It is incredible that the Sabotage team got to embed with Just Stop Oil to give us insight into a world not commonly explored (mostly for safety) and to help us understand it. This would not have happened without trust."

Chart: US leads China (and all nations) in gas-fired power capacity in development for 2025

This is a very literal catastrophe, insanity, suicide.

And the US — under a Trump Administration, congress, and financial system controlled by corporate polluters — is leading the way off the cliff.

The reality of escalating extreme weather as we start 2026: Meteorologist @climatechris.bsky.social breaks it down.

Serious question: Do you accept that this is happening?

Michigan AG sues Big Oil over ‘cartel’ to suppress EVs, renewable energy AG Dana Nessel alleges some of the world's largest oil companies colluded to keep Michiganders' hooked on fossil fuels, leading to higher transportation and home energy costs while harming the climate...

The suit “accuses BP, Chevron, Exxon Mobil, Shell and industry trade group American Petroleum Institute of a wide-ranging conspiracy that has harmed the climate and saddled Michiganders with higher prices.”

There really is a global warming conspiracy. From big oil companies.

Dunno. Try publicly thanking a billionaire? Anyway, it's here:

Remember this feel good hit from 1968? Something about it just hits different today...

To be fair, this question is harder than it sounds.

Remember this feel good hit from 1968? Something about it just hits different today...

In 2008, the Coen Brothers (yes, Joel and Ethan) directed this ad, mocking the same kind of coal industry bullsh*t that Trump has gifted us with again... in 2026.

This is real. And it is very old school coal industry bullsh*t.

Here's an (also real!) 2008 coal front group ad that they quickly pulled down after some media... reported on it.

These graphs sync up almost perfectly with graphs showing wealth inequality, outside money in the U.S. political system and tonnage of bombs dropped on Gaza.

​​At Davos, Phasing Out Fossil Fuels Is No Longer Debatable Markets have moved on from fossil fuels. Politics hasn’t.

From the crazy activists at Time:

"Continued expansion of coal, oil, and gas is incompatible with planetary stability and long-term prosperity. Fossil fuels remain the primary driver of global warming… creating material risks to food systems, public health, infrastructure, and national economies."

You don’t have to deny science to be in denial about the damage and human toll that will keep increasing as long as fossil fuel pollution does, too.

Most political leaders and media, even those that get the science, remain in denial.

We can't change this reality if we don't accept it first.

In McKay's view, the instinct to treat disasters as isolated accidents is reinforced by powerful institutions that thrive when the larger climate story remains blurry. "We're up against trillions of dollars," he said, calling the fossil fuel industry "the blood of the industrial revolution" and describing today's economic system as a "blind foraging creature" now destroying itself.

🎯😂😭

Drawing on years of lobbying and absorbing criticism, he acknowledged how emotionally draining the work to counter climate disinformation and increase acceptance for climate action can be. Yet he remains defiant. "In this moment, I'm not going to go down quiet or not helping," McKay said.

I was reminded that as global citizens, we have a collective responsibility to remind the people around us that the heavy downpour that hit Asia last November and December, weren't just another round of year-end monsoon weather. They're connected to the same forces that intensified the recent fires in Victoria, California and other parts of the world.

“The filmmaker spoke about resisting the urge to soften climate messages simply because some audiences may not want to hear them. “It’s really important to be aware that alarm and action beats vague hope every time,” @ghostpanther.bsky.social said.”

Commentary: I was struck by climate fatigue until I listened to this Oscar-winning filmmaker The string of recent disasters should not be written off as just routine bad weather, says CNA's Charles Phang.

“I carried that unease into a recent group call with Oscar-winning filmmaker Adam McKay and journalists from the Oxford Climate Journalism Network. McKay ended up saying things everyone who cares but is struck by climate fatigue needed to hear.”

Global Temperature Report for 2025 - Berkeley Earth 2025 was the 3rd warmest year on Earth since direct observations began, and recent warming appears to be moving faster than expected.

"The 1.5 °C (2.7 °F) goal will not be achieved" and will likely be breached in "less than 5 years."

"Too little time remains and efforts at mitigation fall far short of what would have been needed to meet that target."

On top of all this, fossil fuel pollution is still climbing. Big yikes.

2025 was our 3rd (or 2nd) hottest year - by a lot.

The last 11 years have been been the 11 hottest observed. The last 3, the top 3.

We are in an "extreme warming spike" that "suggests an acceleration" and that "past warming rate is no longer a reliable predictor of the future." 📈 😵‍💫 ⏰ 🚨

2025 was an exceptional year for the Earth's climate
⬆️ Warmest ocean heat content
⬆️ Tied as second warmest surface temps
⬆️ Second warmest troposphere
⬆️ Record high sea level and GHGs
⬇️ Record low winter Arctic ice

Diagram showing that in a gasoline powered vehicle "around 80% of the energy is lost to various inefficiencies." "16-25% of original energy goes to the wheels."

🤓🤯: It's actually even worse because combustion is such an incredibly inefficient way to generate energy.

In a gas car, only about 20% of the energy generated powers the wheels. So, pollution from every bit of energy that moves the car traps 500,000x more heat energy on Earth.

Fossil fuels: WITAF!

Even more 🤯:

Every. Bit. Of. Fossil. Fuel. Energy. Generated. Puts. 100,000. Times. More. Heat. Energy. Into. The. Earth.

The Sun is a badass muthafucka.

To wrap your head around this, you have to realize that THE SUN is constantly sending Earth a *massive* amount of energy.

That energy could easily power our world. Instead it's cooking us under the pollution from burning fossil fuels — a vastly smaller, dirtier, and more expensive energy source.

The sun is a vastly greater source of energy than fossil fuels?WHO KNEW.

Oil companies have repeatedly argued that climate cases aim to regulate emissions and are therefore preempted by federal law. But plaintiffs say their suits focus not on emissions, but rather on alleged deception about climate harms. Because Utah’s bill is limited to emissions-focused litigation, some cases could still be filed, Gerrard said, “though I’m sure the fossil fuel industry would find a way to push back”.

The greedy psychopaths that run oil companies lied to us for 60+ years while knowingly destroying the liveable world, and now they are lying to us about what it was they lied about. Checks out.
