"While many of the world's major polluters have pledged to cut their greenhouse
gas pollution, a new report has named and shamed some of the world's biggest
companies, accusing them of thwarting steps to limit climate change, including
oil giants ExxonMobil and Chevron, and global car firm Toyota.

Two Australian lobby groups working for the fossil fuel industry have also been
outed in a list of the world's most obstructive organisations when it comes to
pushing back on climate change policy.

The claims from a London based climate advisory firm, InfluenceMap, come
against the backdrop of high stakes behind-the-scenes lobbying at the UN
climate summit on Glasgow.

InfluenceMap director Edward Collins told the AM program that the transition to
clean energy was going to be challenging until countries take action to stem
the lobbying of vested interests."
