Chapter 3 presents the Oil Climate Index plus Gas (OCI+), the first open-source tool that assesses and compares the different climate effects of the wide range of oils produced around the world, taking into account upstream, midstream, and downstream emissions. The chapter walks through the motivation behind creating the OCI+ with collaborators from Stanford University and the University of Calgary. The underlying models composing the OCI+ are discussed and visualized in detail. Model data and uncertainty are fleshed out. The chapter discusses methods for evaluating OCI+ emissions using remote sensing, satellites that spot flares from space, and an expanding array of methane measurement instruments. Possible avenues to build out the OCI+ to include other air pollutants are presented. The chapter concludes by laying out estimated ranges of currently modeled emissions intensities of global oil and gas supplies.Less

The way data is treated and exchanged today—and the still unknown ways it will be treated in the future—is something the drafters of the ECHR or ICCPR could not have imagined. A paradigm shift may have occurred, where the traditional fears of human rights activists about classic danger fields such as the right to privacy, the presumption of innocence, and so forth may have begun to fade away among a society whose members have grown up in the safe belief that one could take them for granted, that they were not something one has to fight for again and again. Today, human rights and especially the right to privacy may for the first time no longer be so much in danger from the corporate state, as they may be from the private sector and ultimately from those they are meant to protectLess
