Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.

Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

More than half of all fossil fuel carbon emissions came from just 36 companies in 2023, a new analysis has revealed.

These firms, including Saudi Aramco, Shell, ExxonMobil, Coal India, and several Chinese companies have been tied to more than 20 billion tonnes of CO2 emissions in 2023.

The latest Carbon Majors report calculates emissions released by the burning of coal, oil and gas produced by 169 major fossil fuel companies in 2023. Of these firms, it found that 93 increased their total emissions compared to the previous year.

The report also includes historic data from 1854 to 2023, showing that since the Industrial Revolution, two thirds of carbon emissions have come from 180 companies - 11 of which no longer exist. Just 26 companies were linked to a third of these historic emissions.
