ExxonMobil, Chevron, Royal Dutch Shell and BP are all in favor of America staying in the Paris climate agreement, and if you look at those company's websites, they all accept the prevailing scientific consensus on climate change.

The coal industry is the last holdout of the climate change skeptics. Everyone in oil and gas has seen the future and have started to push research and investments into renewables to limit their risk exposure.

What lobbyists are you talking about? Are you claiming there aren't any companies outside the renewable energy space lobbying in favor of the Paris Agreement? Have you heard of Exxon?

Damn that Green energy lobby. Trying to save their constituents from the damages of climate change. Those miserable bastards.

Shaming people for their comment history isn't a good look.

I think my point has been lost and it's tough to transmit tone-of-voice in a comment on a website. My failings. The comment wasn't about shaming him, it was parodying the lazy "I'm just saying" rhetorical technique of casting aspersions on something.

Onward through the fog.

> because it's something that the entire planet and most Americans believe is a huge problem

The problem is even if I believe this statement (which I don't), the proposed solutions are government power grabs and wealth redistribution.

> government power grabs and wealth redistribution

The bogeymen conservatives and the GOP use to justify every single one of their regressive and harmful policies...

not cool man. not cool.

You have nothing of value to add to this conversation so you dig into the parent's post history and shame the parent to discredit. Disgusting.

If clicking two links to see what someone wrote in public on this very site is a problem -- jeez. I don't know what to say. I do it all the time when I read a comment that's really insightful or when I see something silly or off-kilter and am just curious. It's not like I dug up his credit score.

There is only one party, Capitalism, and they have two departments: Democrats and Republicans. The others whom stand against them are the DINOs and RINOs like JusticeDemocrats, BrandNewCongress and Sanders whom are currently at the margins attempting reform. (Third parties are mere delusions without an overwheling majority of power players that can jump ship together.) If the grassroots has any hope, it will be a grassroots-demanded trend to clean money politics and push out establishment decay these insurgents bring to the table.
