Lee Raymond, Exxon CEO Who Doubted Climate Change, Dies at 87 | as early as the 1970s, Exxon had understood more about climate change than it had let on and had deliberately misled the public about it

As usual, the media sanewashes these people by describing them as "doubting" and being "skeptical" about climate change. He didn't do either. He knew it was happening, and decided to hasten the mass extinction of life on Earth and the collapse of human civilization, while lying about it and persecuting anyone who spoke the truth, in order to make himself richer than anyone needs to be. And the article talks about his "fairness" and "firmness" to disguise a reality of greed, lies, and abusive management culture, all in the service of deeply destructive goals.
He did all this knowing full well he'd never be around to experience the horrors he has wrought on the planet and society
Its disgusting
Imagine being so evil. He prolly didn't think much of it.
Sometimes I wish I wasn’t atheist, then I could at least believe this guy was burning in hell right now.
You could adopt that belief in the hope that it's true. Sort of like Pascal's wager but for punishing your enemies. An asshole's wager, if you will
He knew exactly what was going on and made the decision to hire the tobacco-cancer denial machine to confuse the public and prevent a timely shift away from fossil fuels
I'm very happy this shit bag is dead, but it sucks ass that he got to live so long and died peacefully. Hopefully more oil CEOs, and just CEOs in general, meet their demises sooner.
Kissinger shit right here
He didn't doubt climate change. He propagandized against it because it was in his financial interest to lie.
Rest in Piss
May this man rot in hell, and may people like him who are still around live in agony and loneliness.
Live your life in such a way that everyone doesn't celebrate your passing the way the Ewoks cheered the destruction of the Death Star.
