Starting this week, Big Oil will reveal just how much they made off global instability and elevated energy prices. Conflict shouldn’t create windfalls. They caused the crisis, they knew the harm, and they should help pay for the damage.
🗓️The Announcements Start Dropping from this week!
It’s time to tax their windfall profits and fund a fair transition.

#MakePollutersPay! ✊ Extreme heat caused by emissions from 111 fossil fuel companies cost an estimated US$28 TRILLION between 1991 and 2020, according to researchers at Dartmouth College. It's time they start paying for the horrific damage they have caused. The science is clear and the bill is overdue.

72,447 MMT of CO2 has beem emitted by Saudi Fossil Fuel giant ARAMCO. how many acres of hemp grown would it take to remove 72,457 mmt of co2 from the atmosphere? Removing 72,457 MMT (Million Metric Tons) of CO₂ would require roughly 12 million to 36 million acres of industrial hemp. This broad range exists because the carbon sequestration rate varies by 4 to 6 metric tons of CO₂ per acre per year, with some estimates pointing up to 8 to 10 metric tons.The exact acreage and the time it takes to achieve this are determined by agricultural variables and your chosen carbon storage method:1. Calculation BreakdownAssumed Uptake Rate: 5 metric tons of CO₂ per acre per year (a conservative commercial average for fiber hemp)Target: 72,457,000 MMT of CO₂Acres Required: \(\frac{72,457,000 \text{ MMT}}{5 \text{ MMT/acre}} \approx \mathbf{14,491,400 \text{ acres}}\)Assumed Uptake Rate: 10 metric tons of CO₂ per acre per year (high-biomass/optimal growing conditions)Target: 72,457,000 MMT of CO₂Acres Required: \(\frac{72,457,000 \text{ MMT}}{10 \text{ MMT/acre}} \approx \mathbf{7,245,700 \text{ acres}}\)2. How the Carbon is StoredTo actually remove CO₂ from the atmosphere permanently, the hemp biomass cannot be left to rot or decompose, which releases the carbon back into the air. The carbon must be locked away:Hempcrete: Processing the woody stalks (hurd) into building materials.Biochar: Slowly burning harvested hemp in low-oxygen environments to create a charcoal-like substance, which is then buried.Durable Goods: Using hemp fiber for long-lifecycle bioplastics or textiles.3. Context on ScaleTo contextualize this scale, consider that the U.S. currently plants nearly 90 million acres of corn and around 70 million acres of soybeans each year. Fulfilling the 72,457 MMT CO₂ goal would require converting an agricultural footprint slightly smaller than the total annual U.S. corn or soy harvest into intensive hemp cultivation.

It’s past time to seize the assets of the deceptive, complicit ceos, investors and politicians who have profited from this man made crisis. Those who lied to safeguard their self interest and private profits. Those who see public wellbeing as collateral damage. Privatising their gains and socialising their impacts. This is called predatory capitalism and key participants include @exxonmobil @bp_plc @shell @chevron @totalenergies
