   These fuckers are content to watch us die.

   This bullshit is going to condemn our species to extinction unless we find a way to depose these sociopaths.

     @aral I cannot say that I am particularly shocked by their response. It would have been nice if they had actually been open to the idea that greed really doesn’t take precedence over existing.

     @vid @Jennifer Are we at the “it’s racist to criticise oil men leading climate summits” stage of boot licking yet?

     Why yes, it would appear that we are.

     @Jennifer @aral they haven't exactly resisted changing, they have one of the largest solar farms in the world and lead in synthetic fuels, kicked off the redress fund when no one else would. People buying from them have eyes fully open. You could swap him out for any number of western leaders, blatant or not. I think it's a kind of hypocritical and unexamined racism, that the Global South knows all too well. Doing the dirty work, replete with f and a bombs, to keep the global order.

     @vid @aral in my opinion it's assholes like this guy who have stymied faster development of energy sources that are carbon neutral, and they've resisted changing because they make so much money from fossil fuels. We could have been much farther along with green energy if not for people like him.

     @aral stop buying oil then? target oil consumers? demand higher prices?
     Coal is overwhelmingly more important to eliminate. Green energy requires a transition and there are unanswered questions. Global South finds something it can capitalize on, funds a transition plan, and is doing leading work on alternatives, but gets hit on the nose when they push back. Easy targets, it would require work to find the real culprits.

     @jimmygnarly “Vote with your wallet” sounds great until you realise that your measly wallet is statistically insignificant compared to the wallets of trillion-dollar corporations and billionaires.

     @aral Outcompete the bastards with cheap renewable energy. When battery, wind and solar power become cheaper than the production costs of fossil fuels they will have an obsolete industry. And that maybe sooner than they think.

     Aral Balkan repeated this.

     @aral
     Superior headline:
     "Dude who will saw off your limbs if you disagree says there's no science behind demands to phase out fossil fuels."

     "For phase-out..." is awkward.
