#CarbonMajors is a database of historic production data from 122 of the world’s largest oil, gas, coal, and cement producers.
• Investor-owned companies account for 31% of emissions, with Chevron, ExxonMobil, and BP the three largest contributors.
• State-owned companies are linked to 33%, with Saudi Aramco, Gazprom, and the National Iranian Oil Company being the largest contributors.
• Nation-states account for the remaining 36%.
“The #CarbonMajors database makes it dramatically easier to document, calculate, and visually demonstrate the growing chasm between the urgent demands of climate reality and the continued reckless and intentional growth of oil and gas production,” said Carroll Muffet, President and CEO of the Center for International Environmental Law #CIEL.
Following is a thread of quotes from #TheGlobalJigsaw latest episode on the #IRGC, #Quds force, #Basij militias - and th ideological blueprint for #Iran so called Axis of Resistance. Whole episode here:
The #IRGC is essentially the life saver of the #Syrian government. You can't really look at it any other way. But #Assad now has oil rich Gulf friends: #Saudi Arabia, the #UAE Iran cannot allow the Saudis to take a space If it thinks it has a chance to get in there.
In the last few years we've seen the two leading #Gulf monarchies in the #UAE and #Saudi leading the march towards normalisation with #Israel and this is where #Iran comes in and this is where it kind of disrupts what's already a fragile environment because when it comes to the #Palestinian cause this is perhaps the one single unifying cause across the #MENA region itself.

A personal story about Donald Trump, Marla Maples. The “Carpet King” Bob Shaw, Adolph Hitler and my wife Martha.
...and his (probable) #WarCrimes regime. They do the "clearing," the #TrumpCrimeFamily (and its #Saudi investors) reap the benefits.
Circling back to that infamous dinner of #MarthHartman.
Can we really continue to believe that #Israelis will be inhabiting these luxurious condos, after #Hitler "did not finish the job?!?"

Despite Climate Crisis, Concacaf Signs Partnership With Saudi Aramco
In the midst of a climate emergency — which scientists fully agree is created and worsened by the extraction and burning of fossil fuels — Concacaf, the regional soccer governing body for North America, Central America and the Caribbean has signed a multi-year partnership agreement to make Saudi oil giant Aramco its official energy sponsor
120 minutes of regulation and extra time end in 1-1 draw for South Korea and Saudi, and the Round of 16 match goes to the PK shootout.
Before the outcome is decided, the Saudi coach Roberto Mancini decides to leave the game, and Hwang Hee-Chan, aka the Korean Guy, finishes off the Saudi squad with a clean kick.
South Korea wins 1-1 (4-2), and advances to face the Australian side in the quarterfinals.
“#Saudi Aramco Abruptly Drops Plans to Expand #Oil Production - “The decision probably reflects a view that the world does not need as much Saudi oil as was previously expected,” said Neil Beveridge, an analyst at Bernstein, a research firm.
I disagree. I think big leagues, like big clubs, are about more than the football. They're about the history, the grievances, the shared joy and disappointment. This comes from time not money.
It may well be a different story 50 yrs on but not in the near future.
