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.
I ANAL but typically getting charged requires a credible threat.
Credible threats have specific details and a plan, date, or similar. You have neither, you could most likely say much more and still be okay legally. The mods tend to be anal about such things, which is their right but is pretty lame.
Oh that’s cool
I am not a lawyer, no it is not, but I will represent you as if it were all true.
We really, and I mean really, need to bring this motherfucker back. I can already sense the rich collectively shitting their pants worldwide on the mere mention of it.
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!
You’re making me do this!
“Don’t make me hit you again.”
I want to publicly apologize, anonymously, for failing to fix climate change.
The whole world was counting on you, PizzaFacia, you let us all down!
We all forgive you if you just throw this oil exec sociopath into a volcano 🌋
man who gets rich pumping oil out of ground blames everyone else for using it while offering no alternatives
Id actually be more forgiving if that was all they did. Except that wasnt enough, so they created a huge disinformation campaign and actively lobbied against meaningful change.
They have divided their opposition so effectively that we are at the point where levers on our life support systems are being pushed and pulled while our most informed scientists dont know where or when the next catastrophic shift occurs.
Buckle up, its gonna be an eventful 1000yrs
This is Exxon we’re talking about here, they killed their research into biofuels and hid their research on climate change in the 70s because of the oil crisis.
“Am I out of touch? No, it is the
kidsgeneral public that is wrong.”Said every oil exec ever
IT WAS ALL THOSE DAMN AVOCADOS, WHY DIDN’T WE JUST SIMPLY STOP EATING THOSE AVOCADOS
They tried to tell us when they said to stop eating avocado toast
Don’t forget Harambe! If we didn’t kill that monkey the world would surely be in a better place now…
M O N K E Y ?
You dare disrespect Harambae?
You’re 100% right. I should have written ape. I’m sorry friend. RIP
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”
Carbon capture is “an answer in search of a question”
I think we all know what that question is by now. “What approach to addressing climate change will make the most money for Exxon Mobil?”
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.
I love oil executives. No matter what you do to them, you don’t feel bad.
It was the way she (planet Earth) was dressed - you know she was just asking for it!
\s 🤮
Ooh, look at me! I’m making people happy! I’m the Magical Man from Happy-Land, in a gumdrop house on Lollipop Lane!
Oh by the way I was being sarcastic
Homer Simpson
Gaia is such a slut.
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.
What an unparalleled piece of shit.
I broke the dam.
