Watch in horror as this chart shows the growing emissions from oil and gas companies since 1965
A new study finds that the 20 oil and gas companies that emitted the most accounted for 35.45% of global emissions from 1965 to 2017.
As you watch this animated graph that tracks the top 20 biggest carbon- and methane-emission culprits in the world between 1965 and 2017, it’s astounding to witness Saudi Aramco bound from the bottom of the list to the top. “How fast the state-owned oil companies have risen in oil and gas production over the period we studied,” says Climate Accountability Institute researcher Richard Heede, is what surprised him the most about his findings.
