Study Blames Big Oil for Emissions, Eyes Liability

摘要

Saudi Aramco and other oil companies are responsible for the largest volumes of greenhouse gas emissions released into the atmosphere in recent decades, according to a new analysis that mentions “potential liability” for these firms as a consequence. The report from the nonprofit Climate Accountability Institute appears framed as a tool for holding energy companies legally responsible for damages related to climate change at a time when a slew of lawsuits of this sort are working their way through the US courts (OD Apr.19’18).
