The base seems to be the other linked guardian article:
"Just 100 companies responsible for 71% of global emissions"
Meaning those who extract the oil, are also 100% responsible for me burning it, to drive my car. Meaning they are responsible, if people die because of heat. Which is convenient, because now me and everybody else driving their cars can have a clear consciousness! It is all the fault of the evil oil companies! /s
I mean, they certainly don't play nice and partly have a very dark history. But if all of humanity demands oil and our current economy cannot run without oil, then I think it is just cheap and not helpful to put it all on the oil companies. We do not seriously want them to stop extracting oil at this point. This is just dishonest.
So capture and redirect some of their profits, yes please, but a cheap blame game is not what think will help anyone.
