Since then, the Conservative government has made a series of U-turns on its own net zero policies, attacked Labour’s green spending plans, and doubled down on its support for new fossilfuel projects, approving more than 100 new North Sea oil and gas licences. This comes as DeSmog and Democracy for Sale reveal that £6.8 percent (£1.8
Rising emissions posed a threat to Exxon’s business — selling fossilfuels — so the oil giant took the lead on understanding what was called the “CO2 problem.”. At the time, Exxon was pouring $900,000 a year into researching the effects of burning fossilfuels. Grist / Jessie Blaeser.
As global temperatures rise from the burning of fossilfuels, researchers and policymakers have proposed solutions like installing renewable energy, replacing gasoline-powered cars with electric ones, and developing technology to suck carbon out of the air.
The GlobalWarming Policy Foundation (GWPF) was founded by Margaret Thatcher’s former Chancellor Nigel Lawson in 2009 in order to combat what it describes as “extremely damaging and harmful policies” designed to mitigate climate change. The Tories have also received £620,000 since 2001 from Lord Jon Moynihan, another GWPF donor.
Neil Record , a millionaire Tory donor and founder of the investment firm Record Financial Group, is chair of Net Zero Watch (NZW), the campaign arm of the GlobalWarming Policy Foundation (GWPF). The IEA has opposed state-led climate policies and has advocated for more fossilfuel extraction.
Four years after the world’s governments signed the Paris Agreement, thousands of people are taking to the streets in school strikes and Extinction Rebellion protests calling for greater action to meet its target of keeping globalwarming as close to 1.5 Too many banks, pension funds and insurers are propping up fossilfuel giants.
What’s the single word that fossilfuel giant ExxonMobil’s flagship environmental reports to investors and the public tie most closely to climate change and globalwarming? And if that approach feels a little familiar, maybe that’s because it’s very similar to the tactics used by another industry in the past: Big Tobacco.
Despite this significant delegation at the summit, and its stated mission “to promote nature-loving, nature-friendly practices”, DeSmog can reveal the CPI has ties to the Hungarian fossilfuel industry, and has promoted some of the world’s best-known opponents of climate action.
A business can then consider all the aspects of their business that produce carbon, including fossilfuels , land clearance and the production and consumption of food, manufactured goods, materials, wood, roads, buildings, transportation and other services. This translation is based on the globalwarming potential (GWP) of a given GHG.
Jeff Thiel and James Kempf We are not yet reducing global greenhouse gas emissions fast enough to avert catastrophic levels of globalwarming. In the decade following the dot-com bubble and including the Great Recession (1/1/2001-12/31/2010) the return to the S&P 500 was only 1.6%. That’s a grim and undisputable fact.

Equinor has not captured 1 million tonnes of CO2 per year at the site since 2001, according to the data, provided by the Norwegian Environment Agency. While Equinor has signalled that it will need substantial subsidies to go forward with its CCS plans, the company continues to direct most of its investments into extracting more fossilfuels.
Between 2001 and 2019, the U.S. ranked third globally in forest cover lost to fires. She compares them to the academically credentialed climate deniers who once got equal attention in the news despite volumes of data about the effects of globalwarming. The implications extend nationwide.
Working closely with the community, Cole represented the residents in lawsuits fighting against major mining and fossilfuel companies, including the groundbreaking case Kivalina v. In 2001, Cole met Colleen Swan, a citizen of Kivalina, during an environmental workshop in Kotzebue, Alaska, following a presentation he gave.
The impacts of globalwarming are deeply regressive, disproportionately hurting our poorest and most vulnerable communities. In 2001’s Whitman v. There is over $5 trillion in value-at-risk to US assets under a middle-of-the-road globalwarming scenario—not including the cost of market volatility. Massachusetts v.
Several weeks earlier, the foundation had also published a report containing the bombshell warning that carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from fossilfuels could have considerable long-term consequences for “ civilization.” Alongside dozens of other newly obtained documents, the memo shows that 1950s L.A. ’s smog problem.
At the Grand Hôtel, as well as later in the 1990s, loyalty ties were forged between leaders in the Atlas network and several Moderates who later gained positions of power in contemporary government – relationships that would come to be exploited by the fossilfuel industry. from signing the Kyoto Protocol.
The world’s forests form an enormous carbon store, holding an estimated 861 gigatons of carbon – equivalent to nearly a century’s worth of annual fossilfuel emissions at the current rate. Since 2000, the world has lost about 10 percent of its tree cover , becoming a major driver of global heating.

Airline ridership has slumped, and airports are as near-empty as they were in the 2001 aftermath of the 9/11 attacks. of global CO2 emissions in 2018, according to the Environmental and Energy Study Institute (EESI) — have dropped significantly. What’s happening with fossilfuels during the pandemic?
Photo Credit: REUTERS While some politicians and citizens continue to deny the existence of man-made globalwarming, the evidence supporting it continues to grow. A Few Relevant Data Points With the advent of the Industrial Revolution in the late 18th century, humans began their dependence on the burning of fossilfuels?coal
More carbon dioxide emissions from fossilfuel use is released into the environment, increasing from ~25 GtCO2 in 1999 to ~37 GtCO2 in 2019. The Trump administration rolled back 98 environmental rules and regulations and sought to gain energy independence based on finite fossilfuels. kg/person in 1970 to 43.22
The gathering comes as Rishi Sunak’s government – which is already off track to meet the UK’s climate commitments – pursues new fossilfuel extraction, and prominent figures in the right-wing media continue to cast doubt over net zero policy. It’s time to kick toxic fossilfuel interests out of politics once and for all.”

In March, the UK government ignored campaigners’ calls to end the issuance of offshore oil and gas licences and reverse its policy of maximising economic recovery of fossilfuels in the North Sea, leaving the door open for more privately-owned and less-transparent companies to purchase and profit from North Sea assets.
GB News presenters claimed that net zero will cause “death by poverty and starvation”, that the policy “poses an existential threat to the free world”, and called for the UK to “drill, baby, drill” for more fossilfuels. Peterson, Lomborg, and Shellenberger have all been interviewed by Winston Marshall for his Spectator podcast.
