"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 research and advocacy group Oil Change International examined climate plans
from the eight largest US- and European-based international oil and gas
producers – BP, Chevron, ConocoPhillips, Eni, Equinor, ExxonMobil, Shell and
TotalEnergies – and found none were compatible with limiting global warming to
1.5C above pre-industrial levels – a threshold scientists have long warned
could have dire consequences if breached.
“There is no evidence that big oil and gas companies are acting seriously to be
part of the energy transition,” David Tong, global industry campaign manager at
Oil Change International, who co-authored the analysis, said in a statement.
None of the companies were immediately available for comment."
