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).

@denniskoch @MarkRuffalo Well they are doing to democracy what was done to public scientific discussion.
