Memorandum for the Petitioners | 67 5.129.Thus, petitioners humbly submit that the respondent Carbon Majors must be held accountable for their ‘doublespeak’ on climate change. Petitioners demand an end to any deliberate obfuscation of causes, harms, and solutions to climate change. BRIEF STATEMENT A. VI OF PETITIONERS’ POSITION Climate science 6.1. extracted, The respondent Carbon Majors, together and individually, have marketed, and sold a substantial percentage of the fossil fuels burned globally, releasing an immense amount of carbon pollution into the Earth’s atmosphere, which is currently interfering with the climatic system.” 6.2. There is a clear link between respondent Carbon Majors’ climate pollution and global impacts, such as surface temperature and sea-level rise, which in turn is resulting in climate damage in the Philippines”** and human rights harms to Filipinos. 6.3. As mentioned, a recent study indicates that the carbon dioxide and methane emissions linked to 50 investor-owned Carbon Majors, including all 47785 respondents notified in the Consolidated Reply, contributed to roughly 16% of the global average temperature increase from 1880 to 2010, and around 11% of the global sea-level rise during the same time frame; and from 1980 to 2010, a time period when fossil fuel companies were acutely aware that their products were causing global warming, these same companies contributed approximately 10% of the global average temperature increase and about 4% sea-level rise.”* 283 See Exhibit “VVVV” to “VVVV-14,” Tracing Anthropogenic Carbon Dioxide and Methane Emissions to Fossil Fuel and Cement Producers; Exhibit “H,” Ekwurzel, B., et al (23 April 2017), The Rise in Global Atmospheric CO2, Surface Temperature, and Sea Level from Emissions Traced to Major Carbon Producers; Opinion and Order, United States District Court for the District of Rhode Island, 22 July 2019, in State of Rhode Island v.
