Climate Criminals — List of the world’s largest oil and gas companies

Earlier I suggested that one way to up the ante in the climate war — the war between us and the billionaires who are making sure carbon continues to enter the air — was to launch a Climate Criminals project. Then I put out a to-do listwith a list of questions and actions.

Thanks to everyone who responded. Twitter friend Joan4020 pointed me to this terrific list of the world’s largest companies — sortable by industry, size and location. Excellent source. What you see below are all companies listed in the Oil and Gas sector. A great start.

A reminder — these companies are not the enemy. The CEOs who run them are the enemies. As I explained here, companies are dead things, force extenders for the CEO class. If a CEO with a conscience took over one of these companies, that company would be into alternative energy as fast as the man or woman upstairs could “make it so.”

Thank you, Joan. This is a great start. Feast your eyes, folks. Next task — the blood money. What do those listed CEOs earn, and what is their net worth?

(Apologies in advance for the formatting of this table. We’re still learning the WordPress ropes here at Americablog Central.)

I’m adding this bad boy as well, because … well, he and his brother have been bad indeed. The company is listed as a Conglomerate, but we know what they do.

Next step, figure out who to focus on — remember, we’re holding CEOs responsible, not their companies; and I’m also inclined to focus on those who are U.S.–based with just a few exceptions.

Big thanks to Joan4020 for getting us well started. If anyone else wants to contribute items listed in our to-do list, please do. More to come.
