Leading energy companies are intent on pushing the world in the opposite direction, expanding fossil fuel production and insisting that there is no alternative. It is evidence that they are motivated not by record warming, but by record profits, experts say.
No alternative? No fucking alternative? Like… We’re talking about extinction level scenarios and they’re like “yeah, okay, we’re all going to die, but I don’t think your suggested alternatives to that are viable”
Like, don’t they see that their profits ultimately depend on humanity existing to consume their products? What the fuck is wrong with them? Who do they think will bail them out when the planet is too fucking hot to live on?
They hope or think they will be dead long before that happens and fuck future generations they are sociopaths.

Well, that’s a problem for the next quarter. Right now we have to push those sales.
Snarky, but accurate.
Profits now think later. Duh
Problem is the ceos, shareholders are mostly in their 50s so they only have at most 50 years of their lives left. They don’t need to care about the future. They don’t need to care about warming , heating, burning, as they can turn on their AC and stay comfy. Also Many oil production countries are not the most morally responsible countries.
And apparently they don’t give a fuck about the world their kids and grandchildren will ave to live in.
Bunch of psychopaths.
I’d go so far as to say if the alternative is extinction, absolutely no action, no matter how drastic and no matter the collateral damage, is unjustified as long as it works.
Yeah, but I think I’d literally die if I were forced to, ugh!, walk to the nearest fast food restaurant. (That’s, like, a mile!) How would I order from the drive-thru without a car, huh? Besides, I need the AC because it’s so hot out.
