I'm not sure about the data sources for this image but from some quick research it looks like this includes scope 3 (end user emissions) for shell and chevron by not the others. The data realistically looks a bit more like this:

πŸ‡ΈπŸ‡¦ Saudi Aramco: ~2.0 Billion metric tons (Estimated; excludes Scope 3 from official tracking) πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§ Shell: ~1.1 Billion metric tons πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ ExxonMobil: ~813 Million metric tons πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ Chevron: ~600 to 780 Million metric tons (Varies by accounting method) πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§ BP: ~400 Million metric tons

Context: For all these companies, Scope 3 makes up 85% to 95% of their total climate impact. This is why state-owned giants like Aramco and US majors like Exxon/Chevron focus their climate targets almost entirely on their own drilling operations (Scope 1 & 2) while excluding the footprint of the products they sell.

In any case this is pretty bad and we are probably gonners.
