In 1989, Shell published an internal report analyzing two possible futures, one in which fossil fuels were brought under control and one in which they weren't. In the former, which they called the "sustainable world" scenario, greenhouse gas emissions began declining rapidly around the year 2000 and global warming was kept in check. In the other, where fossil fuel production continued apace, Shell researchers predicted a world of climate chaos—one with massive increases in "violent weather," particularly "more storms" and "more deluges." These disasters, Shell concluded, would create crises of such severity that "[c]ivilization could prove a fragile thing.".......
If a Bond villain had pushed a "killer hurricane" button to create such a lethal storm, law enforcement agencies would make it their top priority to find that villain and prosecute them to the fullest extent of the law. Our prosecutors and public safety officials don't currently treat extreme weather events in this way. But for disasters like Helene, whose destructive power can in large part be attributed to climate change, perhaps they should.
If you engage in reckless conduct that creates a substantial risk of injuring another person or causing a death, you've committed the crime of reckless endangerment. If your reckless conduct actually does cause a death, you've committed reckless homicide or involuntary manslaughter. And if you recklessly caused a death while acting with extreme indifference to human life, you've committed second degree murder.
These offenses aptly describe Big Oil's conduct relative to the destruction, injuries, and deaths we've seen this month from Hurricane Helene, and will likely see again from Milton. A relatively small number of Big Oil companies are responsible for generating the vast majority of all the greenhouse gas emissions that have caused our planet to heat up.

I guess it was Big Whale Oil that caused all the hurricanes before the combustible engine was invented.
How do you explain something to someone who’s paycheck comes from not understanding?
“A relatively small number of Big Oil companies are responsible for generating the vast majority of all the greenhouse gas emissions that have caused our planet to heat up.”
Climate change is the false idol religion the left worships......and make no mistake, they are every bit as fanatical about it as any muslim extremist.
We are in a period of a considerable decrease in destructive hurricanes.
Always remember the “schooling” that journalism clowns get.
‘Nuff said.
Gosh, even the Catholic schools are pushing this nonsense??
Global Warming/Climate Change
Woke/DEI/ESG
COVID vexxationation
TDS
So many mass psychoses to choose from.
Home school
Until my kids went to over to private school, I had to teach them to “answer” the tests with e idiot answer but inform of them of the facts. Mainly in science and history classes.
My only rub with big oil is their rolling over and showing their bellies on this topic, but I guess subsidized alternatives big money is too tempting.
They should file suit against all the Hollywood stars who fly their private jets everywhere.
Who do we bill for the one that hit Galveston in 1900?
Climate change is real.
Man caused climate change is NOT real.
The earth’s climate is the result of several things such as the distance from the sun, the tilt of the earth on it’s axis, the rotation of the earth, the yearly rotation around the sun, land mass, mountains, and volcanos.
The earth’s climate has gone through any number of swings from being too hot to ice ages.
And the one thing that has made humans the top of the food chain is that humans are the only life form that has learned to adapt regardless of the earth’s climate.
The only thing we have to fear from changes in the climate is politicians who want to control the world by scaring everyone into giving them more power over their lives.
It seems to me that anyone who buys or uses an oil-based product should be held liable for any alleged damages caused by "Big Oil companies."
Too bad Big Oil didn’t pay for the Long Island Express hurricane in 1938, or Hurricane Carol in 1954, or Camille in 1969.
There’s a reason they don’t teach history any more.
But Biden told us that weather control was ludicrous, stupid and misinformation.
But they’ll say it’s true for globull warming.
Sounds like solid grounds to go after China for unleashing COVID on the world. There's a million times stronger cause/effect relationship between the Wuhan Lab and the global pandemic than there is for fossil fuels causing hurricanes.
Here it is:
In 1989, Shell published an internal report analyzing two possible futures, one in which fossil fuels were brought under control and one in which they weren't. In the former, which they called the "sustainable world" scenario, greenhouse gas emissions began declining rapidly around the year 2000 and global warming was kept in check. In the other, where fossil fuel production continued apace, Shell researchers predicted a world of climate chaos—one with massive increases in "violent weather," particularly "more storms" and "more deluges."
Of course, the idea the "big oil" companies had researchers with more and better information about "global warming" than anyone else, is nonsense.
I want to see the unedited "report" who produced it, and the assumptions made.
