Corruption

There's no government in charge of the whole world.

There are national governments, regional governments,

many government officials, and countless opportunities for corruption:

West Virginia: "convicted of conspiracy [and] causing the ... deaths of ... coal miners.”

Virginia: "Conspiracy to commit wire fraud ... related to carbon offset credits.”

“ Oil corruption exposes how corporations help destabilize [the] Middle East.”

“Royal Dutch Shell [was brought up on] bribery charges ... in Nigeria.”

Brazil: “Crooks ... sell stolen gasoline [and] launder cash." "Gas station graft is lucrative.”
Bolivia: “Land trafficking corruption has plagued successive governments.”

Ecuador: “The oil company knowingly dumped ... toxic waste water and ... crude oil.”
Malaysia: "'We have ... regulations, but it’s so easy to commit fraud'.”

There are names for it: "environmental crime" or "eco-corruption".

"’Eco-corruption’ ... is a dangerous narrative that Mexico has long avoided addressing.”

The eco-crime "is ... on an industrial scale." Transnational "organized crime ... makes billions.”
