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.

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.

This but unironically. It's like these fucks are begging us to just start storming headquarters at this point. Taunting us.
They know they can run and hide from us longer than we can actually try to hunt them down. The cops, lawyers, judges and yachts will protect them

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!

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 ~~kids~~ general 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...

In a functioning society these fucks would have been sued into bankruptcy for suppressing those studies in the 80s. In our society they can continue to make record profits every year
80s? They knew in the 50s. They might even know before. With these liars, you never know.

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”
Pretty much this. GM's EV1 is a very interesting case. While it's easy to understand why they wouldn't want to produce it in significant numbers due to economic constraints (very high manufacturing price), their decision to recall all vehicles to destroy them was stupid beyond all reason.
Also, according to wikipedia's sources, ChevronTexaco, a fucking oil company, held a patent for a NiMH battery and made sure no one made any plug-in (battery only) car using it.

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 🤮

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?
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.
