Shell purposely ignoring promise to do away with non-renewable resources
"We really don't care - we're making more money than ever."
"We really don’t give a damn.We're making more money than ever. Fuck the environment. Who cares - you all will be dead when the penny drops. We don't care. Don't you get it yet?" - Shell spokesperson
That was the response I received when I queried a Shell representative about their total disregard for the environment and their reluctance to transition to renewables.
Before he started to lecture me, he pulled out a gold plated cigar case and removed a Gurkha Royal Courtesan cigar and lit it with a gold Dunhill lighter - just like James Bond uses. This guy loves gold the same as Trump.
“The most expensive cigar money can buy,” he commented and smiled, “a million dollars a box.”
He then proceeded to lecture me, “We’re making a shit pile of money, why would we stop? We have to answer to our board and they have to answer to our shareholders, each and every one of them is far more important than the health of this planet to say nothing how much more they mean to us than your work-a-day human scum.
“Of course we set our priorities based on the worth of our shareholders - far more important than this planet. That’s a little something we learned from the Republican Party.
“As soon as earth is on the verge of being uninhabitable, Elon Musk has a space vehicle at the ready to remove our board members from this shit hole. By the way - I’m a board member and I’m guaranteed a seat on Elon’s escape pod.
“Elon has one of his screwball ideas to make Mars habitable. I’m not really concerned about breathing, Musk’s space nerds are perfecting some gadget so we can be assured that we will be able to breath and live normally up there. We trust him just like we trusted Trump.
“So truthfully cat,” he said as he took a big puff and proceeded to blow smoke in my adorable kitty face, “we don’t give a flying fuck about you or the population of planet Earth. We’ll be Martians by the time you’re all choking to death.”
I coughed and pointed out that Martians is a term used to refer to a group of prominent Hungarian scientists (mostly, but not exclusively, physicists and mathematicians) of Jewish descent who emigrated from Europe to the United States in the early half of the 20th century.[1]
He then told me to get the fuck out of his office, blew more cigar smoke at me, and called for his man-servant to remove me.
I was thrown into the street, choking and coughing, my eyes swollen and tearing from the million dollar smoke.
