Remember, folks, it’s only “socialism” when we talk about sharing profits among the people. Sharing blame and responsibility is perfectly okay!

expanding fossil fuel production and insisting that there is no alternative.

No alternative? No fucking alternative? Like… We’re talking about extinction level scenarios and they’re like “yeah, okay, we’re all going to die, but I don’t think your suggested alternatives to that are viable”

Like, don’t they see that their profits ultimately depend on humanity existing to consume their products? What the fuck is wrong with them? Who do they think will bail them out when the planet is too fucking hot to live on?

“They (Oil companies) have left no doubt that their pledges were deployed for cynical political purposes, only to be ditched when they no longer suited the industry’s strategic position,”

That strategic position was to avoid being governed, said Timmons Roberts, professor of environment and sociology at Brown University.

“The climate commitments … were almost certainly made to give the impression that they don’t need to be regulated because their voluntary pledges are adequate,”

You know, I’m kinda tired of every article about oil companies being either something straight out of police reports or just being the same “No shit, Sherlock” about them being evil, lying, manipulative and greedy assholes. I’d love to see them being fined some 50 billion dollars, but I feel they’d manage to overturn that anyway. Justice and police exist to protect property.

Who could’ve seen this coming! /s
