After years of opposing efforts to fight climate change, Europe’s biggest oil and gas corporations have made a stunning about-face. Noticeably absent from the corporate push for a carbon price were U.S. oil behemoths Chevron and Exxon Mobil.

Article comment section - This article is a total lie. BP and RD Shell were two of the founding FINANCIERS of the CRU. Google “history of the Climate Research Unit” and at the bottom of the page look at their founding contributors. This is and has always been a hoax since Maggie Thatcher started it in the 1970s.

--So, Why Should You Care? Burning fossil fuels is the main cause of global warming. Scientists have warned that unless nations cut carbon dioxide emissions in half by 2050 and to zero by 2075, rising temperatures, sea levels, and other impacts of climate change will become catastrophic.

--the usual hogwash---

In a letter addressed to the chief of the United Nations climate agency, Christiana Figueres, the chief executives of Shell, BP, and four other energy giants asked the world’s political leaders to put a price on carbon.

If it had been up to me, I would have given BP one year to dispose of all assets on US soil after the Gulf disaster.

Only if they could have taken the incompetents in DC with them. The incompetent drilling company in the middle, chosen because it was on the PC white list, is the most at fault. They tried to blame Halliburton, but its people took one look at the work being done and left as it was deemed unsafe.

BP had a reputation for going cheap, at the expense of the lives of their refinery employees. They can go to hell as far as I’m concerned.

Back in the 1980s Al Gore was saying all these things would be happening by 2010.

What a BS "news" article, filled with assumptions and exposed by its last paragraph:
"So, Why Should You Care? Burning fossil fuels is the main cause of global warming. Scientists have warned that unless nations cut carbon dioxide emissions in half by 2050 and to zero by 2075, rising temperatures, sea levels, and other impacts of climate change will become catastrophic."

What is emerging is a global cartel with the power to limit competition by levying, skimming and distributing additional taxes on all natural fuels. It is the marriage of global government and global businesses - a new Fascism without the limitation of national borders. It is antithetical to Freedom.

2075, rising temperatures, sea levels, and other impacts of climate change will become catastrophic.
