178 fossil fuel firms encoded centuries of warming into their emissions

New research shows that 178 of the largest fossil fuel companies are responsible for emissions that will raise global temperature for centuries to come — even if they stopped operations immediately. Greenhouse gases accumulated in the atmosphere work with a delay, meaning the effects of past emissions are already irreversible. The study sheds new light on the fossil fuel sector's responsibility for climate change.
