Christiana Figueres, the UN’s chief climate official, told a panel in London that 155 countries have already put forward detailed plans for the COP21 summit. These cover 88pc of global emissions, with China pledging to cap carbon use by 2030 and even India coming on board.
“It is unstoppable. No amount of lobbying at this point is going to change the direction,” she said.
She predicted a series of accords leading to negative emissions within sixty years, entailing a carbon tax that ratchets higher and prices most of the global fossil industry out of the market.
The Exxon case is some respects troubling. Judicial authorities must be careful not to vilify energy companies and encourage a witchhunt.
Defenders of the fossil fuel industry protest that oil, gas, and coal have powered the world’s industrial revolutions, lifted billions out of poverty, and made the affluent society possible.
Yet however unfair it may be, the Exxon Mobil investigation will surely not be the last.
