Oil and natural gas are still projected to meet more than half of the world’s energy needs in 2050, or 54%, Exxon Mobil Corp said on Monday, with the world failing to keep global temperature increases below 2 degrees Celsius.

    Well yes, I wonder if they had a plan beyond the statement.

      Exxon produces less than 3% of the world’s daily crude demand and in May its shareholders overwhelmingly rejected calls for stronger measures to mitigate climate change.

          Seems like the reasoning they are going with. Really we need to make it somehow more profitable to do the right/climate focused things.

          Not that it’s a good excuse, but isn’t that true? Investors ultimately elect executive management.

          The abstraction between investor ownership and company management is one of the most damaging structures ever built.

      I would say they are planning on paying Congress to increase the cap. Not that we will survive till 2050

    The world will only care when millions of climate refugees start moving to cooler areas.

    What the world does to those refugees… I don’t expect happiness.
