Names and Location of the Top 100 People Killing the Planet, 2019 – by Jordan Engel
“The earth is not dying, it is being killed, and those who are killing it have names and addresses.” – Utah Phillips
The above map from artist Jordan Engel and the Decolonial Atlas project powerfully shows the corporations bearing the largest responsibility for the climate crisis. His map breaks down the top 100 individuals contributing to environmental waste and climate change across the planet.
"Just 100 companies are responsible for more than 70% of the world’s greenhouse gas emissions since 1988. The guys who run those companies – and they are mostly guys – have gotten rich on the backs of literally all life on Earth. Their business model relies on the destruction of the only home humanity has ever known. Meanwhile, we misdirect our outrage at our neighbors, friends, and family for using plastic straws or not recycling. If there is anyone who deserves the outrage of all 7.5 billion of us, it’s these 100 people right here. Combined, they control the majority of the world’s mineral rights – the “right” to exploit the remaining unextracted oil, gas, and coal. They need to know that we won’t leave them alone until they agree to Keep It In The Ground. Not just their companies, but them. Now it’s personal. "

The basis for this map is the Carbon Majors Report
from 2017 by CDP (formerly the Carbon Disclosure Project), listing the
top 100 fossil fuel producers in the world, responsible for 71 percent
of all greenhouse gas emissions since 1988.

The harm that's being done to the planet can be clearly pinpointed, to a very
specific list of companies destroying our planet and environment for profit. At least these companies have CEOs that can be
named and shamed, before they kill us all, with their irresponsible actions.
