This is where “corporations are people” should mean a corporation can also get the death penalty. And the people running that company (current and retired) should also get the death penalty. Heads on pikes outside a shuttered Exxon HQ would send a good message.
Exxon executives: Good news is we are making billions of dollars a year. Bad news is we destroyed the planet. >

Good news, it won't effect us in our life time! Bad news, it will severely impact and dramatically change both the world and human civilization and survival for our children and their children's children. >

It "shouldn't" affect them in their lifetime but it will. The fan is on and shit is about to hit it. >

"I was supposed to be long dead before you all could blame me!"
-Exxon Executives, probably. >

“Next item on the list:
How can we send our kids to space?”
I was young back when they called it the Greenhouse Effect. The shortsightedness of the whole thing still astounds me. >

Corporate America has never placed ethics ahead of profits, in fact, if ethics were found to have hurt a corporations bottom line, the CEO would be exposed to legal action from the investors.
It is fucking shameful, and if corporations are to be considered "people" under the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment, then they should be subject to the same laws and rules as the rest of us...not just the ones that let them hoard more wealth.
Greedy fucking pigs. >

With the help of Republican "think tanks" who propagated disinformation for decades. >

Same tactics used by big tobacco. In some cases even the same researchers. >

Yup, "science" for hire.. >

View for full effect. >

PBS' "Frontline" did a 3-part episode on this last season.  Highly recommended >

This is news now? I thought we all knew this  already. Are people living under a rock? >

No. Some people prefer to stick their heads in the sand. >

I would too if I was making that much >

What’s more confusing is all the folks who will be impacted, make no money from it, but still parrot the anti-warming nonsense because their political identity requires it >

Exxon is an oil company, oil is what they do, it is all they know. I bought Exxon-Mobil stock two years ago when West Texas Intermediate went negative.
With the dividends I have paid for a Nissan Leaf, and a solar power system with battery backup. When I sell the stock I will build a new house further back on my property and lease out my current green home.
I gamed the bastards. They paid for my transition away from their economy. After I sell they can go F themselves. >

I had plans to do something similar but unfortunately sold the stock before the big run up.  Good on you.  Nicely done. >

If there is ever a revolution in the near future I hope these people are held accountable and punished. But man do I have my doubts that'll ever happen. >

Once again we rail against capitalists for doing what capitalists do. I find it hard to build up any rage against Exxon for doing what was expected of them. Let me know if you find a story about a capitalist who actually did something without profit as the objective. >

Exactly Capitalism needs to be abolished. It's killing the world and our culture.
