Shell Oil CEO clearly hates freedom and loves junk science

The liberal nazis and moonbats must have got to him, because the CEO of Shell Oil predicts peak oil in seven years, worries about a global scramble for scarce assets, advocates international cooperation to reduce consumption, and describes global warming as a "critical global issue."

Actually, Shell has been sufficiently not-insane to pretend to care for years.

They're still evil. Sometimes enlightened rhetoric covers for brutal behavior.

Oh, agreed. Their behavior in Nigeria especially is nauseating. It was just odd to see the guy publicly acknowledging *reality* in an unfashionable way. Realism of that kind doesn't rule out brutality.

Like I said, they pretend to care.
