Thanks for reminding us assholes. YOU are the reason this is happening.

[-] FrankLaskey@lemmy.ml 28 points 1 year ago

Congrats Exxon! You did it!

[-] Mannimarco@lemmy.world 24 points 1 year ago

I assume they're happy about that

What do you mean the Earth is getting hotter? My Air Conditioning is working fine!

[-] Manifish_Destiny@lemmy.world 16 points 1 year ago

I assume they're lying about how soon.

[-] Syl@jlai.lu 4 points 1 year ago

Yep, most likely 2040.

[-] MushuChupacabra@lemmy.world 12 points 1 year ago

Well they oughta know.

When will we start executing executives who made this happen?

[-] Ni@kbin.social 4 points 1 year ago

Well yes, I wonder if they had a plan beyond the statement.

Exxon produces less than 3% of the world's daily crude demand and in May its shareholders overwhelmingly rejected calls for stronger measures to mitigate climate change.

"It's those darn shareholders! Our hands are tied!"

Seems like the reasoning they are going with. Really we need to make it somehow more profitable to do the right/climate focused things.

Not that it's a good excuse, but isn't that true? Investors ultimately elect executive management.

The abstraction between investor ownership and company management is one of the most damaging structures ever built.

I would say they are planning on paying Congress to increase the cap. Not that we will survive till 2050

The world will only care when millions of climate refugees start moving to cooler areas.

What the world does to those refugees... I don't expect happiness.

[-] rem26_art@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago

and i wonder who's fault that is?

[-] No_Eponym@lemmy.ca 5 points 1 year ago

Exxon ~~says~~ promises world set to fail...

More accurate headline.
