makes a brief mention of how the language of climate denial has shifted toward delay. Not only did Exxon know what it was doing when it spread disinformation in the past, it is still doing it. Today this disinformation takes the form of delay, distraction and division.
No punitive measure could ever fit the damage Exxon has done to human society and its ability to continue on this planet, but forcing it to become part of the solution would at least be a start.Back in 1985, my 10-year-old son came home from school and asked, “Mom, did you know that one day the Earth could get so hot we couldn’t live on it?”
Instead, I told myself what I wanted to hear: that if the planet ever did get that hot, humans will have evolved so much by that time that they would know what to do. Now, in 2023, we can see that temperatures have risen about 0.32 of a degree per decade since 1981. This is not far off science fiction. It’s time to stop burning fossil fuels now.Will our representatives hold Exxon accountable? Will they push the U.S.
same people who got CA residents all riled up this summer saying electric cars were crashing our power grid. Oil mans tentacles run deep and dummies keep fallin for their bullshit
