Oh, that is not suprising but still sad to see.

I was just reading today that the current plans of the major fossil fuel companies still look entirely like business as usual, with high subsidies and clear intention to expand production that show very little intent to meet the necessary targets. The headline summaries are:

The fossil fuel industry’s short-term expansion plans involve the start of oil and gas projects that will produce greenhouse gases equivalent to a decade of CO2 emissions from China, the world’s biggest polluter.

The dozen biggest oil companies are on track to spend $103m a day for the rest of the decade exploiting new fields of oil and gas that cannot be burned if global heating is to be limited to well under 2C.

The Middle East and Russia often attract the most attention in relation to future oil and gas production but the US, Canada and Australia are among the countries with the biggest expansion plans and the highest number of carbon bombs. The US, Canada and Australia also give some of the world’s biggest subsidies for fossil fuels per capita.

Thank you for sharing that, Kokuu. That is discouraging news.
