It’s true, the fact that we never drew and quartered this guy does seem like a failure of our responsibilities
Looks hungry
Edit: lawyers, is saying this illegal?
We need to start feeding him better.
Looks cool for stickers.
FUCK I am so ready
Sign me up
This but unironically. It’s like these fucks are begging us to just start storming headquarters at this point. Taunting us.
It’s better late than never
He’s right. Just not in the way he means.
It IS our fault! If we were TRULY responsible people he would have already met the GUILOTINE!
Hear, Hear!
I want to publicly apologize, anonymously, for failing to fix climate change.
We all forgive you if you just throw this oil exec sociopath into a volcano 🌋
Motherfucker, I ride a bicycle to work and don’t use air conditioning.
90% sure it is your woke ass fault. “Sponsored by, privilege everywhere”
I am not at all defending anything in the article, and especially the oil industry.
I hope some people read the article because I found it very interesting and a little challenging to my preconceived ideas. For example I read the first paragraph and my instant reaction was "straight to hell. Do no pass go. Do not collect $200) "
that the world has “waited too long” to begin investing in a broader suite of technologies to slow planetary heating.
But then it said some things such as their scientists had reported data predicting climate change in the 70s and 80s and in some cases had even more data than government programs. (I skimmed the article this one sourced) and how this current ceo is basically dancing thr tightrope of being an advocate for clean energy while working to the enemy and trying not to completely neuter them. and frankly, not that I believe this is the case at all but makes me laugh, a lot of what is quoted in the article sounds like an undercover plant trying to minimize harm cuz you can’t do it all at once.
But yeah in reality fuck that. If you have the capacity to understand climate change and the gravity of the consequences, then literally nothing else should matter besides that short of ensuring your employees quality of life is good
Well yeah, it’s a PR move. Especially because they did their own studies on climate change and learned they would fuck up the planet and then laughed and said “well if we don’t do it, someone else will”
Oh for sure. I guess I just see this CEO a little more unique than most capitalist villains. It’s almost comical to me, I feel like he is trying to convince himself he isn’t a bad guy more than anything. Like it all stems from that. But it’s not funny because there are real consequences
They buried the study for decades. If they actually gave a shit, oil execs could have injected billions into renewable energy R&D and made money hand over fist on selling the resulting tech, but it’s easier to burn the planet down so they didn’t. Oh, not to mention actively screwing renewable projects by buying people in congress. Fuck em all.
THEY HAD RESEARCHERS. THEY KNEW BEFORE EVERYONE. AND THEN THEY STARTED DOING THE OPPOSITE.
What an unparalleled piece of shit.
Just bought my first EV… Reading crap like this makes me happy I’m pissing on the oil execs
Only if the electricity generated to charge your vehicle wasn’t connected to oil in any way, but you know what’s really environmentally friendly? Walking, biking, and public transit!
Free electricity? Check. Living in a city where I’m a 15 minute walk to grocery, food, coffee, and more? Check.
Having to drive to work 25 miles away is where most of my driving happens.
Start job hunting? Apartment hunting? It took a lot of doing but I ended up getting to live close to work and it’s great! Remote work is pretty popular too these days…
I assume you don’t live in the North America then, because in a vast majority of the US and Canada living in a walkable area and living close to work are mutually exclusive.
I do live in NA and I commute by bike almost every day. It’s not impossible.
No it’s not impossible, but it’s statistically out of reach for most people, for many reasons.
But you know what’s actually helpful and contributing to the dialogue at this point? Supporting a comrade in their satisfaction that they’re doing better than they were before. You didn’t even acknowledge and validate that before throwing a “yes and” to make your point. Appreciate your well intentioned efforts, but this can turn some people off. I know I’d feel dismissed among other feelings. 🤷Maybe I’m soft.
I love oil executives. No matter what you do to them, you don’t feel bad.
This is the pot calling the kettle black, despite the fact that this metaphorical kettle has been electric for quite some time.
And what about that plastic “recycling” scam they’ve peddled for decades?
“You made us ruin the environment by buyin our products!”
Wasn’t that pretty much Qatar dude’s viewpoint?
I broke the dam.
I broke the dam
But the CEO admits it’s real.
Yes, Exxon admitted years ago that they knew man made climate change was real and that they covered it up
The amount of publicity that announcement got was pathetic.
Ok, wait, not the onion or the onion?
What’s the difference anymore?
