A few days ago DailyKos ran a piece by Hunter entitled “ExxonMobil says mankind has ‘enormous capacity to deal with adversity’ caused by climate change.” The quote in the title is from a statement by Rex Tillerson.
Surely, Architect of Mass Species Extinction Tillerson must shoulder some responsibility for the current heatwave in India which is cost the lives of over 1,800 human beings. Did you know that India is in the midst of a 5 year drought? The rampaging floods in Texas. The devastating drought in California. The wildfires devastating the forests of the Pacific Northwest. The Civil War in Syria partially bought about by the prolonged drought in that region of the world. I should also mention hurricane Sandy and the devastating cyclones that if it the Philippines. I could go on and on but the real issue is what are we going to do about global climate change brought about by the reckless actions of a few executives.
I wish to nominate some other well-known Americans Americans as Architects of Mass Species Extinction.
Lee Raymond: former CEO of ExxonMobil who took a page from Big Tobacco’s playbook and gave grants to some members of the scientific community to write stories nine the existence of global climate change.
Charles Koch: Chairman of the Board & CEO Koch Industries
David Koch: Vice President of Koch Industries
If you wish to add other names to this list of Architects of Mass Species Extinction please feel free to do so.
When one of their grandchildren lies dying of dengue fever in Maine what do they tell that grandchild when asked, “Why didn’t you stop spewing poison into our skies? You knew that it could kill me.”
