Corporate leadership was informed about advances in climate science and incorporated those advances when its scientists built their own models. Regardless, the company publicly cast doubt on the reality of global warming, attempted to discredit climate scientists and climate models, and tried to block climate action.

degrees C target that world leaders agreed upon in the Paris Agreement of 2015. The organisation labelled it as a ‘deafening cacophony’ of broken climate records. Scientists worry that 2024 could be even worse, as the El Nino climate impact is likely to peak this winter and drive temperatures even higher.

While there is enormous potential for UN climate negotiations to transform climate action, meaningful progress has been delayed in part by the fossil fuel industry’s deceptive tactics. Last year’s COP was notable as the first to explicitly mention “fossil fuels” in the final decision document.

Delaying tactics Amin Nasser laid out the case, that he believes carbon capture and storage (CCS), and improving the efficiency of fossil fuel production, should be the priority in reducing emissions. Climate scientists say the world needs to cut greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 43% by 2030, compared to 2019 levels.

In the 1960s climate change was not really a significant concern, not even amongst environmentalists – this was despite the fact that the Swedish scientist Svante Arrhenius in 1896 was the first to claim that emissions from fossil fuels might eventually result in enhanced global warming.

The UN agency concluded global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions are at the highest levels in human history and without immediate and deep emissions reductions across all sectors limiting climate change to 1.5°C The scientists said that in the scenarios they assessed, in order to limit warming to the 1.5°C C will be beyond reach.

But the United Nations has just said that the latest commitments of the 192 parties of the 2015 Paris agreement will equate to a 16% rise in global greenhouse-gas emissions in 2030 compared to 2010. While most climate scientists are not directly involved in high-level negotiations, their work is essential to the process.
