The irony here is pretty thick - Exxon helped devlop reporting standards decades ago, but now claims being asked to use a globally accepted protocol is "compelled speech." The distinction between Scope 1 and Scope 3 emissions is critical though. If oil companies don't want to own their Scope 3 emissions, they're basically saying they're not responsble for what happens when people use their product as intended. That's like a cigarette company saying lung cancer isn't their problem becuase the customer chose to light up. The whole "unknowable future developments" argument is also pretty rich given how much these companies spend on forecasting future demand and reserves.
Judges better throw this bullshit out immediately. The fucking nerve. Exxon, your name is already mud, why bury yourself further? Most hated company ever.
I'm working on building a modest refinery in my little town. (Shop Local!). I'll market regular as Craft Pétrole, and premium as Artisanal Essence. Stop by if you're in the area and sample the highest quality fuel that money can buy!
This is just like when those meddling moms tried to make me a mouthpiece for their backwards ideas about driving while absolutely plowed, totally forced speech.
Taney Court 2.0 is a stain on this country, but it is a stain enabled by millions of unreconstructed bigots. And as much as they hoped to have our necks on the chopping blocks, they'll be quite surprised to find out they're on the menu for the money guys too.
Last year, I was concerned that if we won, the White Nationalists would be pitted against the National Guard or regular military units that would be at least somewhat receptive to White Nat goals, but would nevertheless help us save the country. Now l'm afraid we'll be faced with the military and the White Nats on the same side.
the seas are very wet from the standpoint of water, of course!
and sorry, but right nao fuck Spain - we need you here!
also too, it a cool and damp evening, with the rain coming in and the smell of fireplaces redolent in the street as I returned from a quick stop at the market up the block what for some noms
Add Exxon to the boycott list!

Is there a dimension beyond not giving a fuck about the USA current projectory???
Ta, Dok. Standard Oil became Esso became Exxon. All of them sucked, and not in the good way.

Defund SCOTUS.
I don’t think that that would even touch them. Just like our Congress people, take away the salaries they won’t even miss them.
Defunding in the sense that it will make the connected bureaucracy come to a grinding halt. Then you can start investigating.
Obviously, this would take both the political will and some majorities but my point still stands.
They have known for years that they are gross polluters. They just don’t want the people to know that.
The Valdez and her captain say hi!
Do you think I could get SCOTUS to rule that eating the last piece of pie is free speech?
I have a sincerely held religious belief that only I may eat the last piece of pie.

“six Bozo majority”
Just when I was losing hope for using words … most excellent.

What's next? Big Tobacco was "stigmatized"? This seems really, really bad.
Science is radical left wing Marxist terrorism. That's just science.

smoking lamp
is once again very
lit!
How're the seas your way, Cap'n? I want to set sail for Spain on the evening tide.
the seas are very wet from the standpoint of water, of course!

Okay, I'll stick around.
Ya gotta let it out, Captain. Ya gotta let it out.

What an under-appreciated classic! Thanks for this.
Wonks, if you've never heard the Ballad of the USS Titanic, click the link. It's funny as hell.
It went down b/c the captain got high and decided to joust with the iceberg.
Lots of sharp social commentary, too
