If there is any one thing we lay people should understand with regards to the IPCC (https://www.ipcc.ch/) reports on #climatechange and other reports to date from real climate scientists, it's that every single one of them has underestimated the rate of change.

This should be an interesting case - they are going to have to prove though that the company has corporate obligations to address climate change. I suspect it will be along the lines of they have a fiduciary duty to their shareholders to protect further growth by moving to renewables as soon as possible.

Consider this - almost 40% of all the tonnage shipped on the seas is oil/gas/coal/wood pellets intended for burning to create energy. If we switched the world to 100% #renewables much of our needed #climatechange action would be done

One of the world's largest oil companies accurately forecast how climate change would cause global temperature to rise as long ago as the 1970s, researchers claim.

ExxonMobil's private research predicted how burning fossil fuels would warm the planet but the company publicly denied the link, they suggest.

The academics analysed data in the company's internal documents.

#COP27 #UnitedNations #ClimateEmergency #FossilFuels

27 years of United Nations Climate Change Conferences (or Conference of the Parties (COP)of the UNFCCC) and pretty much nothing significant towards stopping #ClimateChange has been accomplished.

This year's version was possibly the worst as fossil fuel-linked companies were the majority of sponsors. How the F does that eve compute. So far as i'm concerned this organization has lost all credibility.

"Our new research shows that the macroeconomic costs of climate change are already big and are poised to get even larger over time. It’s these cumulative effects that make it particularly hard to get a handle on the full scale of potential damages. We aren’t talking about periodic shocks that undermine growth in any one year: climate change will be a drag on growth in every year. "
