I agree, it’s not yet legal to shoot Exxon CEOs and executives on sight. Maybe we should take their example and consider the legal world more malleable than we do.

Drag him out of his office and piss on him in the streets.

Billionaires shouldn’t exist.

And what about that plastic “recycling” scam they’ve peddled for decades?

MashedTech ,

THEY HAD RESEARCHERS. THEY KNEW BEFORE EVERYONE. AND THEN THEY STARTED DOING THE OPPOSITE.

Let’s pick a guy and execute him. Problem solved.

I volunteer the next one in the thread!

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

kautau ,

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.

asteriskeverything ,

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

SkyezOpen ,

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.

My bad. I’ll get on that.

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…

You dare disrespect Harambae?

You’re 100% right. I should have written ape. I’m sorry friend. RIP

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!

bouldering_barista ,

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…

rockSlayer ,

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.

FartsWithAnAccent ,
@FartsWithAnAccent@lemmy.world avatar

I do live in NA and I commute by bike almost every day. It’s not impossible.

rockSlayer ,

No it’s not impossible, but it’s statistically out of reach for most people, for many reasons.

blazeknave ,

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.

DudeImMacGyver ,

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”

800XL ,

But the CEO admits it’s real.

Buffaloaf ,

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.

When is French Revolution part Deux gonna get started already
