An oil giant just dragged Donald Trump over the climate crisis. What rabbit hole nightmare is this?

1. Maybe they know he is coming for them because they did not pay him the billion dollar protection fee he asked them for.

2. You added the word Nightmare, seems like an olive branch though that the ones positioned to gain from the lifting of restrictions are still level headed.

3. The truth is that under the Paris agreement there is no actual accountability for missing goals. Exxon wins either way, but he can publicly say “no, Exxon wants to be sustainable!” with it not mattering what they do in private

4. Not really. The climate scientists I follow on social media who’ve commented on this see it as nothing more than greenwashing. They want to be seen as the responsible adult compared to Trump’s childlike behavior.

5. Exxon wasn’t successful the first time (in 2017) that they suggested not abandoning the Paris Agreement. So there’s that.

6. At some point, even oil execs will try to cheer on a little damage control while still keeping their profits.
