Big oil quietly walks back on climate pledges as global heat records tumble
3 years ago by schizoidman to c/worldnews
Too many people believe they can just continue living like they were 30 years ago - if big oil would stop producing stuff and plastics, gas and airplane fuels would not be available anymore then people would riot
Even threatening to increase prices to a level that would make sense to limit the use to absolutely necessary levels would piss off too many people to be a viable option because everyone just wants to believe that it's just for "the others" to change but not for themselves.
Everyone has to act and change their Livestyle...
Lol that's the world's largest prisoner dilemma, never going to happen. People are big children, and you need to treat them as such. You don't let the child decide whether it's going to eat candy or real food, you take away the option of candy because they cannot be trusted to make decisions that are good for them in the long run. This is no different, it's why we have things like regulations and the FDA.
Not to mention the “adults” in this comparison don’t actually care about the child or the candy, they just care about retaining the ability to control your candy and will do anything and everything to keep stockpiling that sweet, sweet money.
You do realize that they are children ruled by other children who shouldn't get that kind of authority? Do you know what children with power over other children do?
Cool metaphor and all, but just want to be super clear. We're talking about regulating oil, right? And plastics, coal, other fossil fuel derivatives. And no one's going to come take away my candy. Stay away from my candy. Don't take it, it's mine.
This is the truth right there. Gas prices went up two measly dollars compared to normal in 2022, and everyone flipped the fuck out. People were prepared to elect Republicans-- fucking Republicans- to office, they were so furious about it.
And don't @ me about "100 corporations are responsible for like 90% of emissions". Who's buying those corporations' goods? Who's refusing to vote for politicians that'll meaningfully regulate these corporations? Who's spending all day fantasizing about Da Revolushun^TM that'll never fucking come (and would kill tens of millions of civilians and likely result in fascists winning and seizing control of your country, if not the whole thing splintering into a bunch of warring fiefdoms controlled by ruthless oligarchs) instead of getting to actual work trying to effect real change in the real world? And I don't mean "direct action" (read: looking edgy and getting photos for the 'gram), I mean actually fucking getting policy passed that'll have a real impact on people's real lives.
Gas prices went up two measly dollars compared to normal in 2022, and everyone flipped the fuck out.
Yeah, sure. They flipped out because the love their cars so much and don't want to change anything. Oh, wait. No, they flipped out because companies and corrupt politicians made them completely dependent on cars so they will starve without them and kept them so poor that even increasing the cost of using the cars they dependent on just a bit again ends with starving.
And here you are babbling none-sense again about how it's the stupid people buying products -as if they had a choice- and not the companies and politicians that are to blame.
Policy like regulating those 100 corporations?
Yes. I said so explicitly in my previous comment.
They didn't say we can stop it at our individual points of consumption. They explicitly mentioned policy. People need to be willing to support policy that will drastically change their own lives, likely in ways they don't even realize, and be ready to live with that. Otherwise pretty soon we won't be living with much at all.
This is it exactly. We have to turn off the f*cking spigot at the source!
There is no amount of science or innovation that's going to save us. It's going to take "holy shit we're all going to die horribly" panic from world leaders to forcefully cut off the source, which is oil and its byproducts.
Short of that, no amount of responsible consumerism can stem this tide.
It’s almost like our society is car centered, and raising gas prices directly results in worse outcomes for the majority of people. You can’t expect people to just stop using cars, but you can use the state to create massive infrastructure policies paid for wholly by the polluting industries who most heavily profit from our current situation. Use the next decade to build high speed rail, electrified busses and lightrails, subway systems, and other mass transit, and then when gas prices go up, people will have an option other than cutting back on their food to ensure they make it to work every day.
I replied to the wrong comment in this thread, but if I delete it’ll only delete from my instance, so I’m just gonna leave it.
Our society is 100% car centered. My kids' schools are miles away from my house, my job is miles away, and you cannot convince me to ride a bike or walk when it's over 100°F outside. Fuck that shit. I'm happy to take public transit, but any public transit available to me isn't feasible because it would take literally 1.5-2 hours to get to work and back each way, which cuts down severely on my family time. And I can't work from home either due to the nature of my job, which is maintaining the machines that build microchips.
If i could buy none polluting alternatives to anything i currently buy, you can bet your life that i would.
But i dont have alot of choice.
I do what i can.
Maybe ill give it all up and go live in the woods somewhere. Become self sufficient. Maybe the capitalists will notice im gone..... or not... probably not.
Supply creates it's own demand. Capital knows this. That's why they push your narrative.
It's a regular liberal trick, to insist on looking at the consumer while the producer laughs at us on their yacht. In the meantime, their managers, agents, lawyers, and accountants work tirelessly to make sure that what they offer, in the form they offer it, are the only options.
They'll buy a stake in public transport and run it to the ground so that people are forced to buy and use cars. They'll drop the prices in their supermarket so the local grocer with local suppliers can't afford to stay open. They'll build obsolescence into every product so you have to keep buying new ones, and the old one is thrown into landfill. They'll campaign against nuclear energy under the guise of green activism, then complain that wind and solar must be backed by fossil fuels. They'll buy all the newspapers and news channels, ensuring the only narrative is theirs—dog eat dog and the activist down the road is coming for your way of life. They'll buy the recording studios and reinforce these messages in film, TV, music: that petite bourgeois living is peak aspiration and that 'there is no alternative' as if we lack imagination.
Then the public will continue that good work for them. Condescending all who disagree. Arguing that capitalism isn't the problem because humans are greedy or any of the other unassailable, facile, and trite logics that we're forced to hear constantly but which have no grounding in reality.
I agree with you.. It passes people off because their entire life is dependent on fossil fuels. When its been encouraged by society/government for decades and now people have to drive miles to get to the nearest grocery store/point of interest they don't have an alternative that isn't uprooting their whole lives.
If you are going tax gas what it should be taxed, you also need to simultaneously make changes that will help people transition to sustainable alternatives. An amount of people will resist no matter what but you need a carrot to go along with the stick.
Where I live we get one or more times a week 40°C and over days.
Going from home to work is a 30 minutes drive for me. I drive a 2004 petrol Opel Agila.
The train requires you to be on-point, otherwise is a 50 minutes wait for the next run. Also, from the main train station to work is a 20 minutes added walk. This is not too bad, but the worst part is doing the walk under the heat we have here during the summer. Good thing it ends up actually being cheaper than driving my Agila, counting a subscription is €30 while I fuel €15 each week.
The bus is never on-point, always late, always destroyed, always trashy, always overwhelmingly full, skips runs and its not uncommon for it to stop working while you are on it. And you still need the 20 minutes walk. By the way, its too a paid service.
When I will be able to financially, I want to at least move to a newer electric vehicle or use the train during fall and winter. But at least right now during summer, I just can't without arriving at work like a bucket of salt water had been thrown at me (as there is little good shade on the way) and we don't have showers at work.
Other people might not even have the chance to made this decision, as public services can be even harder to use in some other areas.
Everyone has to act and change their Livestyle…
I "kinda" disagree, because we have a lot of alternatives now. Some are more expensive, some need a bit more work, but the alternatives are there and are coming as well. And little changes can do good things, for example not eating Avocados is something everyone can do. If only 50k people stop eating Avocados, that's one hell of an impact in the rainforest areas. Because those 50k people don't eat one Avocado per Month, they eat a lot more (generally). A single Avocado Tree can produce 80-100 Kg per year and generally, avocados are somewhere between 500-900 g. So maybe 120-150 Avocados per year, per tree. Then there's meat - we don't have to stop eating it, we have to reduce and it would make a HUGE impact, especially considering Beef from Brazil isn't even that great, but the rainforest get's destroyed for it.
And so on. It even goes so far, that if people still want to drive their gas guzzlers, they can, but they need synthetic fuels which are expensive but 100% carbon neutral. So the Lifestyle does not need changing necessarily - it just needs some adjustments and especially more conscious consumption - especially in those countries, where capitalism is in "full effect" and where we "rich people" actually make impacts with our buying decisions. (Even if they are extremely small, if you tell friends you are doing things different, they may do as well)
Capitalism is in full effect in every country except about five. All those countries that get shit on by capitalism are as much of what capitalism is as those handful of countries (not the above-mentioned five) that prosper from it. It doesn't work, can't exist, without both ends of the scale.
Politics must hurt them with reforms, taxes, and the rule of law.
Yeah... that's how we ended up in this situation. How do you think these giant corporations became so powerful? They "reformed" laws until they could do whatever the hell they please - that's what "reform" gets you.
It's really simple... the people with money get to dictate how these "reforms" work - that's it. It doesn't matter if you get a Bernie Sanders into a position of power - the "vested interests" will dictate all the little loop holes in the small script that allows for "business as usual" to continue, and that's if they bother to hide it at all. It's literally how we ended up in this terrible situation.
Yes, which is why you should hit where you are not expected.
Which is why statism always works for the stronger side.
I don't get why leftists don't usually understand this. I'm not a leftist, but this should be a very simple conclusion.
Politicians love their bribes more than they love the planet, so that's probably not going to happen. Dems and cons both
"bOtH sIdEs"
Fuck off
You read a comment from a person criticizing the current government for being self motivated and taking bribes under a story about climate change and how we're all fucked and you thought this was a centrist comment?
The fediverse is an interesting place with both right wing and tankie shills as well as "enlightened centrists" (which in the US is mostly right wing apologists with window dressing). All are idiots, or propagandists. I like calling them all out.
I believe in left of center regulated capitalism with a strong social security net, personally. I'm a fan of Clinton, Biden, Gavin Newsom, Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren, though I have major disagreements with all of them on some issues. I believe authoritarianism is morally wrong and I believe anarchism is a foolish idea. I'm not as familiar with the specific policy positions of non US politicians but I generally agree with the western European and Scandinavian approaches to government, with the exception of the surveillance state. In a very broad sense my ideal state would take that model, make having an educated population the #1 priority, and inject a healthy level of American "the ultimate power resides with the people, who should have the means to overthrow a corrupt government if necessary".
I think with a hefty dose of appropriate regulation, capitalism can solve the great majority of societal ills in the world.
I think a strong Western military is a necessity and I think the Pax Americana is an excellent thing for the world.
I think taking action within the current democratic system is far more effective than dreaming about some revolution.
I think the way out of our current mess is to VOTE and push candidates further left.
For an example of a position I can respect but ultimately disagree with, the idea that we should ban guns to save lives. It's a reasonable position to take. I just think it's not worth it, but I wouldn't call anyone supporting it an idiot.
It's a cultural problem that we don't care to fix.
Remember, big oil doesn't exist in a vacuum. We survived without fossil fuels for most of human history, and many people still do. But we, as a culture, have decided that burning them at this level is appropriate.
It's about keeping up with the Jones'. Until we stop doing that, don't expect any of these problems to go away.
We already discussed the peak of oil and climate change since the 1970s and knew we needed to change before the shit hit the fan.
I agree it's an issue that we constructed and socially adapted as we can survive without fossil fuels. However, in our current situation, we cannot move away from it. I don't mean from an Industrial or scientific perspective.
The working and middle classes cannot survive and maintain their livelihood standards without fossils. We need to help and support them do the change. Electric cars, sustainable heating systems, and overall non-fossil alternatives need to be cheaper and politically supported to make change something possible for them.
We need to tax and make big oil accountable for their past behavior, invest in more sustainable solutions, and create transformational programs supporting workers and the middle class to take a step towards change.
Their loss of income and prosperity is more crucial than taxing the rich 1% more. Otherwise, cultural change, as you describe it, won't happen.
Malcolm X has an old speech which applies very well to this issue as well. Too bad you can't vote for him anymore.
Ya right. When has prices went over 5 dollars a gallon in the US, people there list their minds. God forbid we should drive a bit less or consume less.
This is a consumer problem not big oil. The second biggest company in the world by revenue and by far the largest by profit is Saudi Aramco. And why are they so big and countries like Russia are energy giants? Because we are tax and regulated our oil companies significantly more while increasing our consumption. Instead of buying locally, we are now buying from countries like Russia and Saudia Arabia. Look how that is working out.
capitalism can't solve climate change :(
Nope, especially since it's the biggest contributor to it.
What a vague and silly comment, half the world's top contributors to greenhouse gasses aren't even capitalist countries. I get the fediverse isn't a fan of capitalism, but you can't just blanketly blame everything on it.
The US military is the single largest polluter organisation on the planet - do tell me how we can't blame capitalism again?
And just for your information - that other gigantic capitalist country you falsely believe isn't capitalist? Guess what? It's capitalist.
The US military is the world's largest socialist organization. Universal health care, pensions, free college and job training, free housing...
Also, non-capitalist countries tend to be low emitters because they are failed countries whose people live in miserable poverty.
Just as there are hordes of idiots on the right who call anything they don't like "socialism", there are a few idiots - primarily teenagers - on the left who call anything they don't like "capitalism".
After the supreme court invalidated Roe v Wade, I attended a rally. I walked away when one of the speakers started shouting "We know what the real problem is...capitalism!" and all the university kids started cheering.
I love the enthusiasm and your heart's in the right place but y'all are dumber than a bag of bowling balls.
You can have industrialized production and consumerism without capitalism. Not that I'm defending capitalism, I just think our problem is deeper than what you make it, and human nature combined with unchecked technological ability to remodel out planet would yield the same outcome, no matter the dominant flavor of our economical structure.
I'd recommend looking into how indigenous people have historically dealt and wish to deal with climate change before claiming much about "human nature". A lot of so-called "human nature" is just the universalisation of European capitalist values. I suggest starting by reading about the Red Deal, specially if you're from the USA.
Although interesting, I don't think your link is the gotcha counterexample you think it is. Previous civilizations caused environmental collapses without having capitalism to blame for it. We could switch overnight to soviet style communism and that would not solve anything if our expectation is to provide everyone on earth with their today's living standards. We could blame greed, selfishness and that would take us closer to the truth, but even that would be very shortsighted. We would need all humans on earth to be united around a same goal and same path forward, and share the same willingness to sacrifice. No sect or religion has ever achieved that and never will (we are just so many, and spread that wide).
Looking at the world from the lens of an economic ideology alone only gets you so far. Wrong tool for the job.
Not sure what you're talking about on "sect or religion" when referring to different cultures doing things differently. The link is not some "gotcha" Reddit moment, it is a good source for you and others to start questioning this notion of "human nature" given that lots of humans have been questioning this very same "human nature" dogma since it was imposed on them by Europeans starting 500 years ago and continuing to this day. Notably you shifted the discussion to talk about the Soviet Union, which has nothing to do with my point and doesn't even exist anymore. Just because nameless "previous civilisations" caused uncited "environmental collapses", doesn't mean that every civilization works by the same rule. Specially considering this current environmental catastrophe is on a whole different level and we have current day civilizations that would love to prevent it, if only they got their Land Back.
Mind telling me what this One Goal of yours might be and how it could be possible within capitalism? The ones who have the most to sacrifice are those at the top, ghettoised minorities will go mostly unharmed in most actually practical solutions.
Looking at the world while compartmentalising the overarching mode of production will only get you solutions from that overarching mode of production. You were quick to dismiss it as the wrong tool, but what is the right tool then?
Capitalism can not solve shit.
It's not a full solution, but I'd love to see more use of compostable single-use plastics coupled with municipal biochar facilities.
It's an excellent cycle that harnesses capitalism and materialism. People buy single use plastics, then throw them away. Municipal garbage (a utility company paid for by ratepayers), picks it up, and brings it to a biochar facility. The facility pyrolizes it, making syngas (which they burn for energy which is then purchased by consumers) and biochar, which is sold as a soil amendment and happens to be carbon-negative. Excess biochar can be buried.
It's a typical capitalist create-consume economy except it's carbon-negative (when paired with decarbonized transportation like electric trains and delivery vans, and hydrogen powered garbage trucks). The more you consume, the more carbon you actually suck out of the air.
There's a few proposed loops like this which instead of fighting consumerism actually harness it to make carbon negative actions. Another one that I'm very interested in is making HVAC filters that also passively absorb carbon from the atmosphere. With electric heat pumps we already have an HVAC technology that is minimally emitting. Pair that with carbon negative filters and you're golden.
Or concrete using injected co2. It's a real thing that exists, it just doesn't have price parity with traditional carbon-intensive concrete. Imagine if just by building a building you could be carbon negative.
Again, it's not a total solution but I wish I could see more use cases like this instead of the "consume less" narrative. People are not going to consume less, that's not how people work. The only way to get people to consume less is by raising prices (which is a necessary part of the solution of course).
Why do you think pyrolyzing random plastic waste generates biochar?
It would also never be carbon negative, since it is from oil. Best case is neutral, but some carbon is burned off in the process.
Same for concrete, it is not suddenly carbon negative.
Fuck oil companies
The only thing big corporations care about is next quarter’s profits. The world can quite literally burn next year if they get their big profits this quarter.
You see capitalism is lime a virus. It grows, takes over its host (us) and causes painful symptoms. And naturally if the disease is not treated we will die. Right now the world is akin to having a bad flu. The world is even getting hotter to try to kill us.
If it's ALL on fire, then my percentage of the money supply remains unchanged!
"That'll be $20. I mean $15. $10? You know what, just half of whatever is in that flame retardant wallet."
These companies will not change unless they are forced to do so and our government isn't going to do shit since most of congress is in the pocket of big oil. So what are our other options?
Everyone likes to blame individuals for not using renewables or buying an electric car, when it reality their options were limited in the first place by big oil. Most people can barely afford to put food on the table and green or renewable products are usually significantly more expensive and not really an option. Besides that, IIRC ordinary citizens only account for roughly 20% of all greenhouse gas emissions. So the onus lies on big oil to make changes and offer affordable renewable options instead of the same gas guzzling/polluting bullshit we've been offered up to this point. But like I said, they won't do something like that unless they are forced to do so, they will always pursue profit over people, unless those people get in their faces and force them to pursue other options.
We could stop voting for the same ineffectual, bought, corrupt representatives. But if I've learned one thing, it's that Americans love their front runners and will almost always vote for the front runner, regardless of effectiveness. Yes, individuals can't be blamed for the lack of regulation, yet they can be blamed for voting for the same fuckers for decades while bitching about the other side not letting them get anything done. It is just a fantastic, dysfunctional relationship/system.
It's time for radical action and violent resistance.
We're staring into the face of human extinction and people are still quibbling about consumer choice.
it's going to take much, much more direct and violent action to force change.
most of congress is in the pocket of big oil. So what are our other options?
Vote only for candidates against FPTP. When that's gone, we can just vote for candidates who are against big oil.
Electoralism isn't going to save us.
If you have another option, you should reply to GP with it; I'm legitimately interested.
Their unwillingness to act on climate change is a major (if not the biggest) reason we need representation. The Democrats hand power back to Republicans who undo this session's climate action.
Destroying the world more slowly by slightly impacting one election at a time brought us here.
I understand and support the sentiment: something needs to change. I just don't think that re-framing electoral politics will work unless it's backed by a mass movement of organised workers. If that happens, the question becomes, why bother with the middlemen? They can legislate for themselves without having to beg the ruling class for mild compromises.
Destroying the world more slowly by slightly impacting one election at a time brought us here.
That's kinda what I was driving it. How many elections would it take to abolish FPTP? We'd have to wait for that and only then could we think about voting in politicians who might do something and the system would still be dominated by capital. That makes a three-step process out of a two-step process.
Seems like a request to wait for an indefinite number of election cycles—the same request of those who say to vote for this or that faction of the capitalist party and one day, just maybe, conditions will be just right for one of those parties to effect any change. Too many African, Latin American, and Asian homes and lives would be destroyed while they wait patiently for the US to get its act together.
It would take too long to work unless you know of a massive campaign across the western world to implement FPTP. If it doesn't exist already, it must be built within the next year or so or the west will be locked into another four-ish years of no progress. And that's just for a shot at electing politicians who might vote to abolish FPTP. Before they even come within hearing distance of, never mind face-to-face with, the contradictions of imperialism.
Currently, almost all I see in the west is how to do business as usual but in green. That means denying progress to the subjugated masses so that USians can maintain their standard of living. Oppressed people shouldn't have to wait for the US to figure out how to tactically solve the world's ills through an electoral technicality. Round and round we'd go with electoralism.
At this point, there is one, single option: revolution. Anything else will take too long. Luckily for humanity, whatever the US thinks or wants is largely irrelevant. The world is revolving anyway. The only question for the world is what form the revolution takes. And the additional question for USians is whether they want to be part of the change or to ruin everything out of spite and self-interest.
The Red Deal may be of interest (click drop-down menu under 'articles'): https://therednation.org/environmental-justice/
The Democrats hand power back to Republicans
Only because idiots like you don't vote.
Democratic strongholds are making massive gains on climate change. Look at California. That's what happens when we get a democratic supermajority.
The federal government has had a Democratic supermajority exactly once in the past few decades. For a few months. And they used it to get us the Affordable Care Act.
Biden got the IRA done without a supermajority, but he's a brilliant politician.
You fuckers keep claiming democrats are ineffective or colluding or something but you haven't actually given dems a chance to fix anything yet.
Give us a democratic supermajority for 8 years and you'll be amazed at what gets accomplished.
We don't have time for that. Just vote Democrat, and vote in the primary.
Undoing FPTP will take a generation. I agree it should be done, but it's not the priority.
This completely ignores GP's point.
No, I'm saying we can get climate change fixed without undoing fptp. Just give democrats a permanent supermajority. Much like in California.
If current green companies can't make affordable options, why in God's earth would you think it would be cheaper if conventional energy companies join the mix?
Your entire statement is conflicting. Angry about high costs being unaffordable then suggesting oil companies to not produce low cost energy that keeps prices down while acknowledging the high cost of green energy.
Relying on businesses to self regulate doesn't work?
I am shocked! Shocked!
Well golly gee, they're breaking promises they never intended to keep?
I have low expectation but damn...didn't think that they'd be that low.
We all are trying to do our parts you know, I used to like cars when I was in HS, now I don't even consider having one. I'll stick to public transport and will get an electric last mile transport.
These people sucks ass. They have the monetary power to make real change but decided to double down. Nowadays investments in renewables have good returns and will be viable for the next couple decades, but they care too much for their previously invested monies and want to milk the people to the last drop.
Man, you are so right. The weirdest part is, that your behavior isn't even socially very accepted.
I, too, love engines. I admire the technology and how genius they are put together. My dream is to own a cruiser motorbike and go drive through the countryside. I don't think this will happen, as I would hate myself to burn fuel for pleasure.
I own a very old, tiny scooter, that I only use to carry heavy stuff. I used to carry on my shoulders, but mom in law felt sorry for me and gave me her oldest, broken, rusty scooter, that nobody used for months, because she bought a new one again. I repaired it. My wife gets upset, when I don't drive her around. For example to the market 500 meters down the road to buy a can of soda or so. I only use it for hard work.
People surrounding me think I don't like progress. No, man, I would love to have a more convenient life! Driving to me is fun, I enjoy it! I just can't stand myself to do something bad to environment for my pleasure, so I try not to. And people think I'm weird.
I know people like you and me don't even make a difference. Whatever amount we save and not emit in our whole lifetime - some ignorant wealthy will blow out within 5 minutes.
I don’t think this will happen, as I would hate myself to burn fuel for pleasure.
Modify one to run off biofuel? You can even make the fuel yourself
Wait! Some of you really believed in and trusted your politician’s and your corporation’s PR ad campaigns? LOL I remember few years ago, when everybody on Reddit posted pictures of themselves cleaning beaches and streets and stuff, all proud of how they made some kind of difference. KEKW
Hahaha action is futile, do nothing but consume
Well.. I hate to break it to you, but it seems we’re left without any alternative. I alone can’t do shit about it. Groups of people have tried, and we do see the results. In last few years I’ve seen people making fun of the one Swedish girl that also tried… I’m not saying we should give up, but I think our politicians and corporations and governments are rather preparing for a war (you need a lot o oil for it), and I see far more people and celebrities on Internet and the news cheering for this war then fighting for their own future. Idk I’m no expert…
There is an alternative. And it's proving to be effective. But you're not allowed to know about it. And if you do know, you're not allowed to think about it objectively. The evidence will be framed in such a way that makes you think that tackling climate change and corporate power is the most dangerous thing on earth: https://doi.org/10.1017/9781009152655
Well that's the world's sketchiest link
- stop trying to fix the climate

We are over the edge of no return.
We should stop begging for change and act now. Politics must hurt them with reforms, taxes, and the rule of law.
We cannot stop climate change now, but we can try to de-accelerate by fighting against big oil, corrupt politics, and billionaire newspapers supporting them.
save
