    Not sure why we would even bother with hearing what an oil CEO has to say about this.

    “I’m 60, the world will burn in 30 years. It’s too late to do anything now, and I’ll be dead by the time it gets bad, why don’t you all just go live out your lives on your yachts and eat cake all day like I’m going to do?”

    Must we acknowledge that these companies made petroleum products for consumers, who are us and our parents? Yes.

    Can we acknowledge that they have systemically lobbied to delay adoption of technological alternatives? Also yes.

    Should we be surprised a CEO of any company, when given a podium, takes the chance to defend his business, and pass off negatives to literally anyone else? Absolutely not.
