    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.

    It’s too late for him and his family and everyone who’s ever shared a table with him or has his private phone number to continue existing with the same number of limbs and sensory organs too.

    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.

    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”.

        It makes it clear that a lot of the doomerism we’ve been seeing encouraged by oil industry PR firms is in fact coming from the top.

          Honestly it shows that idiots will jump to whatever makes them feel tough, all these people calling for the ceo to be killed because they think he said the same tough guy thing that I’ve seen posted all over the place probably by many of the same people calling for his death…

          Meanwhile he’s actually just said the same thing that all the experts in the field have been saying for a long time about how important it is to use economic forces to accelerate transition.

          It would be so nice if we actually took the time to make informed opinions so we can work towards actual solutions. Yes it’s hard but if you actually care then that means putting in the work.

    “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.

      There are actually books already written about how the PR folks the executives hire have been doing this for several years.

    Well, if it’s too late and you fuckers have doomed us all, I guess we better haul out the guillotine, you absolute piece of shit.
