In the run-up to the climate change summit in Glasgow, the world's biggest companies pledged to reduce their carbon emissions.
However, an analysis of publicly available corporate documents showed that 25 of those companies (which are responsible for 5% global emission) are actually committing to doing far less.
Many climate change skeptics often point to the lack of willingness by governments and large companies to act like the climate change issue is an emergency as one of the reasons for their skepticism. And this report will only further strengthen that point.
