| I'd like to remind the HN community, some of whom are rather quick to defend the corporate matrix, that fossil fuel companies saw this coming in the 70s and covered it up. And they had broad, deep-pocketed support. Government subsidized them, and protected them after their oil spills. Media ran Exxon and Chevron's greenwashing ads, Police beat up protesters, going so far as to infiltrate their groups, seduce their leaders, and have entire fake marriages with them all to keep tabs on them. Judges sent those protesters to jail - Steven Donziger ought to be a household name, for a recent example. The military invaded countries illegally for them. And not a single comment here so far as I can tell is putting any of them on the hook for this ongoing atrocity. |
