This is just blame-shifting propaganda for the uneducated. We've known for years that "just 100 companies are source of over 70% of emissions":

"Groundbreaking ‘Carbon Majors’ research finds 100 active fossil fuel producers including ExxonMobil, Shell, BHP Billiton and Gazprom are linked to 71% of industrial greenhouse gas emissions since 1988."

This is a call to violence. My post, this post right here, is advocating violence against this man.

From your lips to god's ears

From your guillotine to this CEO's neck, there is a blood debt unpaid.

People seem to have forgotten that we used to drag assholes like this out of their offices into the streets and beat them.

[–] Asafum@feddit.nl 1 points 8 months ago

Unfortunately that will quite literally never happen. We're all talk. We love to trot out the guillotine talk and then go back to doing whatever we're doing that isn't violence... :(

Hey guys, can we keep the slapfights to a minimum, please? Just had to delete a whole thread where everyone was just insulting the fuck out of each other.

Cut it out.

It IS the public's fault, as a whole. We could have voted for better climate policy already.

It just happens to be this guy's fault more than most of the public individually.

I don't know about you but I get zero representation from any of my government reps, and writing them has never mattered so what the FUCK are we supposed to do?

It isn't the public's fault, the owner class's opinion is the only one out government follows.

It would be soooo sad if he were to fall out of an airplane and into a murder hornet den.

[–] mods_are_assholes@lemmy.world 5 points 8 months ago

It would be an absolutely terrible tragedy if an angry crowd of people dragged him out into the street and beat him with tire irons, and no one managed to film it.

Those poor hornets. He would be dead along with the hornets the moment he made impact, and they'd never have the satisfaction of murdering him.

Let's face it: Anyone who believes anything these businesses tell you deserve whatever they get.

[–] orphiebaby@lemm.ee 1 points 8 months ago

The gullible do not deserve to be exploited or even punished just for being gullible. I've always hated this completely irrational, sociopathic way of thinking.

[–] Blackmist@feddit.uk 10 points 8 months ago

You know if this cunt and his ilk hadn't spent the last century poo-pooing all the alternatives and lobbying themselves into being used more, he might have a point.

But did, and so he doesn't.

[–] postmateDumbass@lemmy.world 9 points 8 months ago

Just fuck these people and this Orwellian deflection bullshit. Eat shit and die.

[–] Guntrigger@feddit.ch 8 points 8 months ago (2 children)

Aha, so the real way to solve climate change is to buy more of your oil, but also build prohibitively expensive infrastructure to capture the pollution and shove it back underground.

Thanks $20mil a year earning, fracking championing, 17% increase in company carbon output making, caught on tape obstructing Congress climate legislation oil company CEO. Maybe you'll get to be Trump's secretary of state this time around like your predecessor was.

Why wait for that? Lets promote them all to customer right now. In fact, we should help them all ascend this world right now. They don't belong here.

This is why I hope all the wealthy move to mars along with the muskrat.

[–] mods_are_assholes@lemmy.world 1 points 8 months ago

It's times like this I really wish COVID had a 60% death rate, did you SEE how clear the sky was during lockdown?

We had deer in Manhattan, and blue skies in China.

Humanity really is a plague.

[–] BigMacHole@lemm.ee 2 points 8 months ago

I agree! It IS our fault! That this man doesn't fear for his life!

Then put that dumb slob scumbag in prison because he’s committing crimes against humanity. We KNOW that EXXON is to blame and their history is disgusting. It’s BEEN KNOWN since the 1990’s. Quit playing America.

And environmentalists need to start voting and quit being dickheads for big business.
