Discussion of climate, how it is changing, activism around that, the politics, and the energy systems change we need in order to stabilize things.
As a starting point, the burning of fossil fuels, and to a lesser extent deforestation and release of methane are responsible for the warming in recent decades:

Is it playing devil's advocate to say that criticism should at least be true?
Awh I've never been called a class traitor or a corporate boot licker before 😂 good to know that we're willing to throw the truth under the bus, I always thought that being better than our enemies was the way but I see now that petty things like the truth are the real enemy. Thank you for opening my eyes.
Pay no attention to that troll, friend. I'm all for makeing CEOs/billionaires accountable. But what you did was good, and you don't need to explain yourself to a troll.
Just shut the fuck up. That's not even the point. OP was simply clarifying what the article said, without outside editorializing.
I am in favor of making CEOs accountable, but all you're doing is staining the cause with an irrelevant conversation. Wait... is that your goal? Are you a fucking Russian disinformation agent or something?
Go back to reddit.
Well you're doing a fantastic job of making yourself look stupid, I don't know if it will help whichever side you actually favor but top marks anyway.
Hahahaha, go back to reddit, troll.
What the fuck, what kind of bullshit is this? This is not how a sane discourse works. This is the worst case of ad-hominem/strawman I've seen in a while.
"Yes, OP, you're right that the CEO didn't say that. But do we need the truth prevailing here? He's a CEO!!!! Why are you defending him?!"
What a load of bullshit.
I definitely just ignore or block "durr prove it" types.
Nah I'm not going to waste my time and energy compiling sources and whatnot just for some asshole to go "nuh uh fake news LuLuLuLuLuLz"
You don't do that for the poster. You do that for other readers.
When someone makes a completely stupid comment, like "Drink bleach to kill viruses," I won't go and reply "no you wrong!" I'll reply "For anyone reading, that's a dangerous advice and here's why [citations]." I don't care if the poster then replies with "nuh uh, fake nooz."
(I didn't downvote you, by the way.)
