For decades, fossil fuel companies have hidden behind a simple defence: we only produce the product. The driver filling a tank, the household heating with gas — they are the ones burning it, not us. The Paris court has now dismantled that argument. It found that TotalEnergies’ investment strategies, industrial choices, and energy portfolio directly shape the emissions that follow. The consumer alibi, the industry’s most lucrative fiction, is over.
