It makes it clear that a lot of the doomerism we've been seeing encouraged by oil industry PR firms is in fact coming from the top.
Honestly it shows that idiots will jump to whatever makes them feel tough, all these people calling for the ceo to be killed because they think he said the same tough guy thing that I've seen posted all over the place probably by many of the same people calling for his death...
Meanwhile he's actually just said the same thing that all the experts in the field have been saying for a long time about how important it is to use economic forces to accelerate transition.
It would be so nice if we actually took the time to make informed opinions so we can work towards actual solutions. Yes it's hard but if you actually care then that means putting in the work.
