Trump says:
Exxon will MAGA!
How many biological species, and humans, will have to die in order
for the US to enjoy the greatness is unknown at this point.
America loves oil: again, no surprise there.
Donald is once more rewarding those he already rewarded with cabinet posts.
No surprise there, either.
If you don't know, I'm referring to secretary of state Rex Tillerson, chief executive of ExxonMobil.
I'm unsure whether or not he remains Exxon's CEO, or if that's even possible.
I'm sure someone will enlighten me on this point?
ExxonMobil crimes against humanity and the environment:
ExxonMobil supports numerous right wing and conservative think tanks and lobby groups,
(see 'PR Companies and Greenwash' and 'Lobbying' above for examples).
They promote everything from environmental deregulation to cuts in social welfare spending.
ExxonMobil is also a strong proponent of so called free trade.
ExxonMobil supports organisations like The Heritage Foundation that are working for the opening of Alaska's Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, an ecologically sensitive area hosting numerous species.
So far this area has been untouched by development.
Exxon has been in the forefront of fighting any action on climate change.
ExxonMobil was also a major contributor to a $13 million U.S. advertising campaign against the Kyoto agreement.
ExxonMobil sees no need to invest any of its huge profits into research into renewable energies.
ExxonMobil owns 50% of the Rundle oil shale deposit near the Great Barrier Reef World Heritage Area. Greenpeace Australia is currently campaigning against development because of the potential of toxic run off damaging the earth's most extensive, sensitive coral reef.
Exxon Chemical (producer of phthalates) and Mattel (toy manufacturer) opposed the EU-wide ban.
In 1998, a proposed EU-wide ban on PVC toys containing phthalates was dropped.
Exxon has also been the cause of environmental damage in Russia, Peru, Ecuador, Nigeria, Chad, Columbia, Indonesia. In fact, it seems difficult to find an area of the Earth Exxon Mobil hasn't damaged.
Exxon, with its extensive history of pollution, offshore drilling pollution, and Illegal water pollution, is also guilty of hazardous waste violations, stealing oil and gas, and violations against workers rights and safety.
