And then there is Wall Street.

The "Political Economy Research Project" (click here) at University of Massachusetts, Amherst has compiled a list of top 100 Wall Street darlings, some engaged in the production of energy, and their responsibility to the USA greenhouse gas emissions.

* Percentages are the parent corporation or entity's percentage of all U.S. greenhouse gas emissions, including electric power, transportation, industrial, commercial, residential, and agricultural emissions, the total of which is 6,673 million metric tons of CO2 equivalents according to the April 2015 U.S. Inventory of Greenhouse Gas Emissions and Sinks. Note that this total is for 2013 while Greenhouse 100 parent and facility emissions are for 2014.

The links from each parent name lead to an application that gives detailed facility and sector information about the company. You can also search for companies not on the Greenhouse 100. For more information on the data, see the technical notes.

The pace of change is immediately obvious, especially over the past few decades. The relationship between current global temperatures and the internationally discussed target limits are also clear without much complex interpretation needed....

1.5 and 2.0 are the red zone. They are incredibly high temperatures that imperil Earth's climate. We are dangerously close without reprieve from greenhouse gas pollution. This is the time the world needs to become very, very serious about reversing the trend of this death spiral.
