More than anyone, it's the fossil fuel industry. Oil, gas and coal are responsible for 90% of carbon dioxide emissions, which are cooking the planet and super-charging extreme weather events.
Big Oil has also lobbied against climate laws, and many firms have ignored their own scientists - all while the planet burns.
COP29 is our moment. The loss and damage fund was created to help developing nations that are being hit hardest by climate chaos. But the $702 million pledged so far is just a drop in the ocean.
Fossil fuel companies rake in billions. They must pay into the fund to help communities rebuild, adapt, and repair some of the damage they've caused.
This year's climate summit runs for two weeks. Time's running out to have your say.
