Statement of Facts The Petitioners ask the Commission to take official or administrative notice of the scientific basis of this Petition concerning the human rights implications of climate change and ocean acidification and the estimated responsibility of the Carbon Majors. In this section, first, there is a discussion of the Carbon Majors, followed by an overview of climate change and ocean acidification impacts and finally, personal statements of individuals describing how climate change impacts interfere with their human rights. See updated Annex “D” for the details of the Carbon Major publications. 1. Carbon Majors The Carbon Majors findings, based on peer-reviewed methodology, are found in three ground-breaking publications: (1) Climate Accountability Institute, Press Release on Update of Carbon Majors Project, released in December 2014, appended as Annex “D-1;” (2) Carbon Majors: Accounting for carbon and methane emissions 1854-2010 Methods and Results Report, released in 2013 and updated at the beginning of 2014, appended as Annex “D-2;” and (3) Tracing anthropogenic carbon dioxide and methane emissions to fossil fuel and cement producers, 1854–2010, published online in the journal Climatic Change in November 2013, appended as Annex “D-3.” The following are the main findings of the Carbon Major publications. They now reflect the most recent findings of the research, which is constantly being updated: • 90 Carbon Major Entities, including the 50 investor-owned Carbon Major companies, are responsible for an estimated 1,104 Gt CO2 of cumulative world emissions of industrial CO2 and methane, or ! 19! ! ! ! ! !
