man who gets rich pumping oil out of ground blames everyone else for using it while offering no alternatives

Id actually be more forgiving if that was all they did. Except that wasnt enough, so they created a huge disinformation campaign and actively lobbied against meaningful change.

They have divided their opposition so effectively that we are at the point where levers on our life support systems are being pushed and pulled while our most informed scientists dont know where or when the next catastrophic shift occurs.

Buckle up, its gonna be an eventful 1000yrs

This is Exxon we're talking about here, they killed their research into biofuels and hid their research on climate change in the 70s because of the oil crisis.
