When your home burns, floods, or is destroyed in an extreme climate weather event, when someone in your family dies from heat waves, or when crops fail and people starve—come for these three people: Wael Sawan (Shell CEO), Darren Woods (Exxon CEO), and Patrick Pouyanne (TotalEnergies CEO). They knew what was coming and did it to you anyway. Sue them, shame them, heckle them, despise them. These are choices. They are to blame, not society.

Big oil quietly walks back on climate pledges as global heat records tumble

Energy firms have made record profits by increasing production of oil and gas, far from their promises of rolling back emissions

@MarkRuffalo “It became clear that they’re motivated by profits,” said Roberts

No shit? Honestly, every leader who knew the science and still decided to work against the best interests of humanity for the sake of money - should be tried at the Hague for crimes against humanity.

An example should be made of CEOs and political leaders who value profit over people. We can't count on them using ethics and morals to make the decisions - that's failed.

I think that there is a legit case here - particularly against Exxon on its leadership who knew the impact of what they were doing IN THE 80's (and I'm sure they weren't the only ones).

Thank goodness no Exxon CEO ever got real power, like a Cabinet position. Oh wait...

@TCatInReality @MarkRuffalo There is a reason that the billionaires are building bunkers and hiring ex-SEALs to protect them - they know that we've been working on our BBQ sauce recipes. I might be mostly vegetarian but I can always make an exception.

Bit too morbid for me

But any billionaire who thinks those Seals won't turn on them the second it's convenient are fooling themselves.

Once their money and influence are useless - and the only thing of value they have is a well stocked bunker - those "guards" will just take it.

@TCatInReality @MarkRuffalo That is 100% what I was thinking! Once money is worthless, the billionaire will be pushed to the outside of their armed bunker - unless they somehow planned for that. 😂

Maybe that's why Zuckerberg and Bezos have buffed up.

Still, they will be far outnumbered and won't last long.

@TCatInReality @MarkRuffalo I love the idea of watching them getting pushed out of their bunkers and then hoping that their hours in the gym will help them. 😆

I guess I have another script idea now!
