Calculating the amount companies owe for causing global warming

Fossil fuel companies ignore damages caused by the climate disaster they created. Leaving governments, insurance companies, and private citizens to cover the costs of mitigation, damage and reconstruction.

In the meantime, these fossil fuel corporations are price-gouging and ripping off the world as they brag about record-breaking profits (while receiving government subsidies - aka corporate welfare)

Fossil fuel corporations must be held accountable and should be legally obligated to help pay for the crisis they created.

Researchers calculated the amount each fossil fuel corporation could pay to a global fund for mitigation efforts, climate damage and climate refugee relocation.

Top 5 Fossil Fuel Corporations Annual Assessments:

Saudi Aramco - $42.7 billion

Gazprom - $20.1 billion

Exxon-Mobil - $18.4 billion

Shell - $16.3 billion

Chevron - $12.8 billion

Global Initiative: Enhancing Childhood Cancer Survival

  Childhood Cancer Medicines Still Inaccessible in Low-Income Countries

During his weekly press briefing in Geneva, Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, the Director-General of the UN World Health Organization (WHO), revealed that only a quarter of low-income countries currently provide coverage for childhood cancer medicines through public benefits. This lack of accessibility has dire consequences for children and families, subjecting them to significant suffering, financial hardship, or worse, putting them at risk of receiving substandard and falsified medications. Consequently, the survival rate for children battling cancer in these countries is distressingly low, standing at less than 30 percent. This is in stark contrast to the impressive 90 percent survival rate for children in high-income countries.  

WHO's Global Initiative for Childhood Cancer

To tackle this pressing issue, the WHO, in partnership with the St. Jude Children's Research Hospital based in the United States, a renowned non-profit pediatric treatment and research facility specializing in leukemia and other cancers, launched the Global Initiative for Childhood Cancer back in 2018. The overarching goal of this initiative is to achieve a minimum 60 percent survival rate for childhood cancer patients in low and middle-income countries by the year 2030. Specifically focusing on addressing six highly curable types of cancer, which collectively represent more than half of all childhood cancer cases, this initiative strives to make a significant impact on improving survival rates worldwide.   Access to Quality-Assured Medicines at No Cost In December 2021, the WHO and St. Jude jointly initiated a global program with the aim of improving access to childhood cancer medicines. Mr. Tedros emphasized that the primary objective of this program is to provide universal and sustained access to quality-assured essential cancer medicine for children in developing economies, free of charge. This vital effort aims to relieve the burden of exorbitant medical expenses on vulnerable families and ensure that every child has the best chance of survival and recovery.  

WHO's New Essential Medicines List

Today, the WHO announced a significant update to the Essential Medicines List and the Essential Medicines List for Children. Among the new additions are crucial cancer medicines, alongside treatments for multiple sclerosis, infectious diseases, and cardiovascular conditions, among others. These additions are expected to have a profound public health impact worldwide without jeopardizing the health budgets of low and middle-income countries.  

Alarming Heat-Related Deaths in Europe

Amid the ongoing heatwave across the northern hemisphere, the WHO has reported distressing news about Europe. An estimated 61,000 people lost their lives due to heat-related causes last month, highlighting the severity of heat stress on human health and well-being.   Heat Stress and its Health Implications Heat stress refers to the body's inability to cool itself efficiently, leading to exhaustion or heat stroke. The WHO has linked heat stress to the exacerbation of various health conditions, including cardiovascular, respiratory, and kidney diseases, as well as mental health problems.   Vulnerable Populations at Risk Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus expressed deep concern about the impact of extreme weather conditions on the health of vulnerable populations. He particularly highlighted those living in conflict-affected areas or displaced communities, where access to safe water, sanitation, cooling facilities, and medical supplies is limited or non-existent.   Urgent Need for Precautionary Measures In response to this pressing issue, Mr. Tedros called on governments to establish early-warning and response systems, develop strategies tailored for both the general population and vulnerable groups, and create effective communication plans. Additionally, he underscored the urgency of reducing greenhouse gas emissions to protect the planet and safeguard all forms of life. By doing so, the international community can take proactive steps toward mitigating the devastating impacts of extreme heat and ensuring the well-being of people worldwide.   Sources: THX News & United Nations.

Effects on Fisheries

Climate change is having a significant impact on global fisheries, which are facing challenges such as shifting fish populations, changing migration patterns, and changing ocean currents. This has made it difficult for fishermen to find fish, and in many cases, it has led to overfishing and the depletion of fish stocks. This has had a significant impact on the seafood market, with some species becoming harder to find and more expensive to purchase.

Effects on Aquaculture

Aquaculture, which is the farming of fish and other aquatic species, is also being impacted by climate change. Rising water temperatures are causing stress and disease in farmed fish, which can lead to lower yields and higher mortality rates. Changing ocean chemistry is also affecting shellfish production, as it makes it harder for shellfish to build and maintain their shells. This has had a significant impact on the availability and cost of farmed seafood products.

Effects on Seafood Production

Climate change is also having a significant impact on seafood production, which includes processing, packaging, and transportation. Rising temperatures are making it more difficult to preserve and transport fresh seafood products, which has led to a shorter shelf life and higher waste. Changes in ocean currents are also affecting shipping routes and making it more difficult to transport seafood products to market.

Mitigating the Impact of Climate Change on the Global Seafood Market

To mitigate the impact of climate change on the global seafood market, it is important to take steps to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and promote sustainable fishing practices. This includes reducing our reliance on fossil fuels, investing in renewable energy sources, and promoting sustainable fishing practices such as selective fishing, reducing bycatch, and protecting critical fish habitats.

It is also important to support local and regional seafood markets that promote sustainable fishing practices and source seafood products from responsible fisheries. These markets can help to support local fishing communities, promote sustainable seafood production, and provide consumers with access to fresh and healthy seafood products.

Conclusion

Climate change is having a significant impact on the global seafood market, affecting fisheries, aquaculture, and seafood production. To mitigate these effects, it is important to take steps to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, promote sustainable fishing practices, and support local and regional seafood markets that promote responsible seafood production. By taking these steps, we can help to protect the world's oceans and ensure the long-term sustainability of the seafood industry.
