Researchers examined 213 extreme heat events across 63 countries since 2000 and found climate change made them up to 200X more likely. Half of that extra heat can be traced back to emissions from carbon majors.
Just 14 entities—including ExxonMobil, Shell, and China’s coal industry—were responsible for as much warming as the other 166 companies combined.
