For all the focus being placed on the role that fossil fuels play in the hastening of climate change, major oil and gas companies apparently have little intention of taking concrete action to transition away from oil and gas recovery and move towards clean energy options, according to a recent report compiled by representatives of the Democratic Party on the United States Oversight Committee.
The report contained in a story headlined “Oil companies could doom global efforts around climate change, House committee finds,” and published by NBC News, says that some of the world’s high profile oil majors have “little intention of taking concrete actions to transition away from fossil fuels and toward clean energy solutions despite their public efforts to be seen as working to address climate change.”
