The world’s biggest companies have caused $28 trillion in climate damage, a new study estimates

The study is part of an effort to make it easier for people and governments to hold major polluters financially accountable, like the tobacco giants were.

A Dartmouth College research
team came up with the estimated pollution caused by 111 companies, with
more than half of the total dollar figure coming from 10 fossil fuel
providers: Saudi Aramco, Gazprom, Chevron, ExxonMobil, BP, Shell, National
Iranian Oil Co., Pemex, Coal India and the British Coal Corporation. For
comparison, $28 trillion is a shade less than the sum of all goods and
services produced in the United States last year.
