I will note that these are scope 3 emissions, so it includes the emissions associated with fossil fuels extracted by these firms and burned by others, as well as those from electrical generation when end consumers use the electricity.

These are Scope 3 Category 11 emissions, corresponding to "use of sold products", however this has been modified to quantify emissions from each fossil fuel company’s net production of oil, gas, or coal as opposed to sold products.

'Hold them to account' makes it sound like they at least had to own up and honestly admit it. Maybe they have, while simultaneously funding climate denialism, us politicians for denial, and otherwise funding campaigns to deny harm from hosts of pollutants, many systematic at this point, poisoning everything.

Insect populations are down 90 pc since the 90s, something is fundamentally wrong, they know their parts in it, and pay to make sure we do not know. Poisoning everyone to save a dollar.
