BOOK / CLIMATE CRIMINALS. Mickael Correia

ESSAY

One hundred companies are responsible for 70% of global greenhouse gas emissions. And, among them, Aramco, Gazprom, and China Energy are the three multinationals that regurgitate the most CO2 on the planet. Unknown to the general public, they are the international champions of oil, gas, and coal, respectively. If this trio were a country, it would be the third-largest emitter in the world, behind only China and the United States.
In this book, Mickaël Correia reveals how these three industrial giants deploy an arsenal of strategies—corruption, neocolonialism, lobbying, greenwashing, soft power, etc.—to perpetuate our addiction to fossil fuels. By voraciously extracting these resources from the bowels of the Earth, they knowingly fan the flames that consume our planet and act like true climate criminals. From the private clubs of New York to the salons of the Kremlin, from Beijing to the palaces of Riyadh, Climate Criminals reveals the hidden circles of power at the heart of "fossil capitalism" and how these companies develop and ignite the fuse of a bomb that threatens all of humanity. At a time when the need for eco-responsible individual behavior is constantly emphasized, this book identifies the true culprits of climate chaos and demonstrates the urgency of taking action against them once and for all.
