Carbon majors and the scientific case for climate liability
Will it ever be possible to sue anyone for damaging the climate? Twenty years after this question was first posed, we argue that the scientific case for climate liability is closed.
Here we detail the scientific and legal implications of an ‘end-to-end’ attribution that links fossil fuel producers to specific damages from warming. Using scope 1 and 3 emissions data from major fossil fuel companies, peer-reviewed attribution methods and advances in empirical climate economics, we illustrate the trillions in economic losses attributable to the extreme heat caused by emissions from individual companies. Emissions linked to Chevron, the highest-emitting investor-owned company in our data, for example, very likely caused between US$791 billion and $3.6 trillion in heat-related losses over the period 1991–2020, disproportionately harming the tropical regions least culpable for warming. More broadly, we outline a transparent, reproducible and flexible framework that formalizes how end-to-end attribution could inform litigation by assessing whose emissions are responsible and for which harms. Drawing quantitative linkages between individual emitters and particularized harms is now feasible, making science no longer an obstacle to the justiciability of climate liability claims.

Today we are going to talk about climate change, class war, the working class, and how we are going to win the climate struggle… with Matt Huber, Professor at Syracuse University.
There is a lack of knowledge #climatechange
The consumer must know what damage is caused by the daily consumption of petrol, we need this awareness for personal risk assessment

Der Verbraucher muss wissen welcher Schaden durch den täglichen Verbrauch von Diesel/Benzin angerichtet wird, wir brauchen diese Sensibilisierung für die persönliche Risikoabwägung
