Largest Producers of Industrial Carbon Emissions

在过去的几年里, scientists have succeeded in tracking with increasing confidence the portion of 617888九五至尊娱乐变化 that is tied directly to human activity, especially the burning of fossil fuels.

Recently published research by Richard Heede of the 617888九五至尊娱乐责任研究所 近三分之二的文件, 63%, of the industrial carbon pollution released into the atmosphere since 1854 can be directly traced to the carbon extracted from the Earth by just 90 entities — 83 producers of coal, 石油, 还有天然气, 7家水泥制造商.

Almost all of these giant multinational corporations, 国有控股公司, and fully nationalized companies are still operating today.

Topping the list of private and 国有控股公司 are Chevron, 埃克森美孚, 沙特阿拉伯国家石油公司, 英国石油公司, 俄罗斯天然气工业股份公司, 壳牌 and the National Iranian 石油 Company. These seven companies alone have produced almost one-fifth (18.7 percent) of all industrial carbon released into the atmosphere since the dawn of the Industrial Revolution.
