There is increasing disparity between what the public wants and what the politicians want.

The public wants litigation against #FossilFuel companies while politicians continue to approve extraction projects.

#FossilFuel companies don't just cause #ClimateBreakdown, they threaten #democracy.

Vote with your wallet as much as your ballot.

Majority of US voters support climate litigation against big oil, poll shows

And almost half of respondents back the filing of criminal charges against oil companies that have contributed to the climate crisis

@ScientistRebellion in 2023 the top 3 oil producers in the world were Saudi Aramco🇸🇦 with 12.8 mmb/d Rosneft🇷🇺 (5.4) Abu Dhabi ADNOC 🇦🇪 (4)
Exxon is barely 4th (3.7), equivalent to Iran NIOC🇮🇷
Chevron (3.1) equals Kuwait 🇰🇼 Shell (2.9) equals CNPC 🇨🇳 Total=Petronas🇲🇾 BP=Petrobras🇧🇷 Equinor=Pemex🇲🇽 Conoco=CNOOC🇨🇳 Eni=Sinopec🇨🇳 Repsol is smaller than PDVSA🇻🇪 same as KazmunayGas🇰🇿
If I were #Putin #Khamenei #Xi or more modestly #MBS I would agree with you: let's sue them all in their democratic courts!🫵 #woke

@ScientistRebellion here are some data from 2019. at that time Exxon was number 6. Not easy to find open up to date reports, I checked 2023 annual reports and press releases.
Not easy even to compare productions because of gas, condensates and crude. Not easy to find annual reports for state-owned companies in non democratic countries... and believe those numbers are true.
But that's what scientists should do, instead of woking around.

@ScientistRebellion in the meantime, while you rebel in full democracy, your colleaugues on the other side (of the world) work hard 🇨🇳 and apparently their universities are improving their rankings (according to our, democratic, criteria)

@ScientistRebellion

...I'm sorry, I misunderstood your post: it's the people who can vote who want to sue publicly traded oil companies, in democratic countries. Those who have no right to vote are irrelevant: their authoritarian-state owned National Oli Companies, can keep polluting and emitting #GHG. It's none of our business, right?

@ScientistRebellion

such a shame I was right... 🤷 (and so easy to share self deleting posts - perhaps I've been banned, who cares)
