Exxon's T-Rex caught in a wildfire


http://jimhightower.com/node/7787

Rex Tillerson is known by those who track Big Oil as "T-Rex." As CEO of global giant ExxonMobil, he's and dominant industry predator of scientists and policy makers who call for regulations to restrict fossil fuel emissions that are causing climate change.
While T-Rex is the first of the Exxon Horribillis species to admit that global warming is a scientific reality, he insists that it's not really a worry because humankind "will adapt to this."
Rapidly-melting polar ice, rising oceans, more ferocious storms, spreading drought, and other catastrophic consequences of climate change are just the price of economic progress, he says. So, government should stay out of Exxon's way and focus instead on making people adapt to the pesky changes wrought by the industry's emissions. "It's an engineering problem," he explained, "and it has engineering solutions."
Ironically, on the very day that Rex proclaimed the consequences of climate change to be "manageable," Colorado was burning down. Swept by climate-induced wildfires that are the worst in the state's recorded history, people died, families were devastated, and the economic and environmental losses are incalculable. It took nearly 1,300 wildfire fighters from all across America weeks to contain Colorado's blazes – and that was only one of a half-dozen states that were aflame at the same time.
see what your right wing desire to keep oil and coal in the game they denied global warming at every turn just to keep that flow of money coming. telling you that the Keystone thing with no study of destruction to the country would be at your corner gas station, lies. they just want to keep the status quo. 
you know the Pres. is considerably cautious not to harm or take un needed chances on what has cause catastrophe's with great damage to our piece of the planet. some would rather believe that he is doing what the right is doing blocking the way out.
all who want to deny the scientific proof of global warming, you're going to look pretty damn stupid lying in the hospital dying from nothing
