Exxon says world set to fail 2°C global warming cap by 2050
Poob, The world will only care when millions of climate refugees start moving to cooler areas.
What the world does to those refugees… I don’t expect happiness.
TheBlue22, When will we start executing executives who made this happen?
Manifish_Destiny, I assume they’re lying about how soon.
Syl, 
Yep, most likely 2040.
MushuChupacabra, 
Well they oughta know.
FrankLaskey, Congrats Exxon! You did it!
Ni, 
Well yes, I wonder if they had a plan beyond the statement.
Ni, Exxon produces less than 3% of the world's daily crude demand and in May its shareholders overwhelmingly rejected calls for stronger measures to mitigate climate change.

"It's those darn shareholders! Our hands are tied!"
Ni, Seems like the reasoning they are going with. Really we need to make it somehow more profitable to do the right/climate focused things.
zagaberoo, (edited ) Not that it’s a good excuse, but isn’t that true? Investors ultimately elect executive management.
The abstraction between investor ownership and company management is one of the most damaging structures ever built.
anonionfinelyminced, (edited ) Take your pick!

Sabata11792, 
I would say they are planning on paying Congress to increase the cap. Not that we will survive till 2050
rem26_art, 
and i wonder who's fault that is?
No_Eponym, 
Exxon says promises world set to fail…
More accurate headline.
Someguy89, Thanks for reminding us assholes. YOU are the reason this is happening.
Mannimarco, I assume they’re happy about that
Phanatik, What do you mean the Earth is getting hotter? My Air Conditioning is working fine!
