Big oil quietly walks back on climate pledges as global heat records tumble

Leading energy companies are intent on pushing the world in the opposite direction, expanding fossil fuel production and insisting that there is no alternative. It is evidence that they are motivated not by record warming, but by record profits, experts say.

Profits now think later. Duh

Problem is the ceos, shareholders are mostly in their 50s so they only have at most 50 years of their lives left. They don’t need to care about the future. They don’t need to care about warming , heating, burning, as they can turn on their AC and stay comfy. Also Many oil production countries are not the most morally responsible countries.

It's also mental illness, they don't need to worry about money either they're rich enough to live wonderful lives already but they are greed obsessed and their ego can only be fed if they're destroying the world

And apparently they don't give a fuck about the world their kids and grandchildren will ave to live in.

Bunch of psychopaths.
