We need to seriously, as a society, treats this level of greed as a serious, in patient, mental illness that requires treatment.

Friend, you’re absolutely correct. And while I love punctuation as much as the next person, you need to ease up on the commas almost as much as we need to ease up on fossil fuel consumption.

It’s grammatically correct.

Not just greed, but the sheer level of sociopathy you have to possess to be a CEO. That level of “don’t give a fuck about anyone except shareholders” will be the downfall of humanity.

No, Just need to kill them and process the remains into fertilizer. Then seize their wealth and use it to fund counters to climate change.

The comments conflict with the recommendations of climate scientists and U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres, who has called on the fossil fuel industry to “drive, not obstruct” the transition to renewable energy. Burning fossil fuels is the biggest source of the carbon emissions blamed for global warming.

Even Sultan al-Jaber — who is head of Abu Dhabi National Oil Co., one of the world’s largest oil producers, as well as president of this year’s U.N. climate talks — urged the oil and gas industry to reach net zero greenhouse gas emissions by or before 2050.

2050?! Between more intense hurricanes, floods, fires, and lack of fresh water I don’t know how many humans can even survive that long.

As a member of the Global Climate Coalition, Shell helped sow doubt about climate change. Now that the globe has seen the highest temperatures in 100,000 years, Shell wants to argue it’s irresponsible to cut oil production now?

It’s because Shell and other fossil fuel companies helped publish research that challenged climate science (and continue to do so) that it’s irresponsible to cut oil production now.

They had their chance to do the right thing. They didn’t.

Fuck them and their operations.

Yes, I’m somewhat aware of the consequences. But if we don’t make hard decisions to kill dangerous companies like fossil fuels now…well…given the damage they case, it may not matter: millions, maybe billions, will still probably die.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.

Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to “Mom! He’s bugging me!” and “I’m not touching you!” Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That’s all the rules!
