Nice to see someone with some power taking on the fossil fools. Here in Alberta we live in a petrostate and criticism of big oil is a good way to be ostracized.

The sad part is that the similarities between Big Oil and Big Tobacco don't change the fact that the difference is gargantuan. Big Tobacco was simply killing smokers....and indirectly, those who lived with them. Big Oil has been lying about the ability of its product to destroy life on earth as we know it.

There is perhaps something inherently evil about Money in a capitalist extractivist context. Carbon Capture is a boondoggle, designed primarily to keep those pump jacks pumping....fossil gas is not a transitional fuel, when you factor in the leaks that occur at every stage in the refining and transporting process, its a climate killer perhaps worse than coal, and as for the BS that told us gas ranges were the best cooking stoves........that too off gases nitrous oxide and contributes to the asthma many of our children develop.

We should jail the lot of them. But likely they have too much power already, so we'll fine them some paltry sum, and look away as the floods and fires, the droughts and wars finish what Big Fossil companies started: The end of the world as we know it.
