I wish Exxon/Mobil and the other giant energy companies would use their enormous warchests to diversify the kinds of things that they do rather than to fund pseudoscience and the spread of stupidity about the climate. Back at the turn of the 20th-Century, if you made a living making saddles would you have been better off transitioning to car batteries or in trying to kill road construction?
At this point, I am beginning to consider Big Oil as a truly evil force that should be combatted with force.
