If its too late then it's time for retaliation against those who put us in this mess in the first place.

This guy belongs in jail.

Far be it from me to tell a Lemmy mob not to eat an oil exec, but wow that's not even close to what the article says.

“So we’ve got to find a way to get the cost down to grow the utility of the solution, and make it more available and more affordable so that you can begin the [clean energy] transition.”

As per the article, this exec is saying the exact opposite of "it's too late to transition to clean energy so we might as well not bother." He's saying "it's taking too long because it's too expensive, so we need to focus on making it cheaper so we can get there faster."

Is he lying about wanting to hasten the transition to clean energy? Maybe.

Are there other reasons that he is a fiend that must be eaten by the working class? Likely. Article hints at some of them.

But wow this take is off base. These guys do a good enough job making themselves look bad, we don't have to also make stuff up.

Guess it's never too late to put these fuckers up against a wall

What a cunt. Is it too early to waterboard him with frack juice?

So the implication here is that we should just continue to die? Lmao these fucks.

Man if there's one person who's opinion I respect on climate change, it's definitely the CEO of Exxon-Mobil.

Seize the assets of the shareholders and stop the oil pumps.

I know the first mother fucker I'm eating.

Seriously, this guy is looking awfully tasty.

"too early, too late, whatever as long as now is not the right time that's all I care about"

Wasn't there recently an article from TheOnion or such that said this exact thing? Wild how little fucks these monsters give about anyone but themselves.

This has been "Climate Change Denial 2.0" for years now. Realistically, it's nothing more than a neoliberal dogwhistle to signal "I'm on board for killing everyone if it's profitable".

Ha! I just saw a post from someone here on Lemmy last week saying this is what they'll do.

Denied, Delayed, Disinformed successfully!

CEO, "Now, board of directors, how much bonus are you paying me."

If anyone wanted a proof that environmental pessimism is only helping the oligarchs, there you fucking go

"Does anyone want to step up to pay?" No, I was thinking we could just tax the shit out of rich assholes like this empty suit and use that money.

It is never too late, don't give up. The earth without humans is generally slightly carbon negative, and there are cheap things to do that can encourage that - it will take 1000 years to undo things, but we can do it. Step 1 is becoming carbon neutral, and with wind/solar power that is easy for the majority of emitters.

“Yeah, just shut the fuck up and give more money, you whining little shits. I’ve got a survival bunker to build. They aren’t cheap you know. “

To the people talking of guillotines and woodchippers, I think what you're really looking for is the Brazen Bull of Phalaris. So appropriate on so many levels.
