Alright conservatives, have a seat, this is brutal news. In a stunning development, the evidence for global warming is so significant that the group with the most to lose (financially that is), in good conscience can no longer deny it any more. When oil company CEO's have more credibility than you (talking to you conservatives), you have major problems!! Lol. They even say that it is so bad that current policies being discussed still aren't enough, hahaha. Where are the birther loon group going to turn to now?

Shell CEO: "Yes, climate change is real. And yes, renewables are an indispensable part of the future energy mix. But no, provoking a sudden death of fossil fuels isn’t a plausible plan,”
“I’m well aware that the industry’s credibility is an issue,” the speech says.
“You cannot talk credibly about lowering emissions globally if, for example, you are slow to acknowledge climate change; if you undermine calls for an effective carbon price; and if you always descend into the ‘jobs versus environment’ argument in the public debate,” Mr. van Beurden plans to say.
BP CEO: Dudley added that the environmental risks put pressure on politicians to come up with a deal at this year’s climate conference in Paris. “The projections highlight the scale of the challenge facing policy makers at this year’s UN-led discussions in Paris. No single change or policy is likely to be sufficient on its own.
“And identifying in advance which changes are likely to be most effective is fraught with difficulty. This underpins the importance of policymakers taking steps that lead to a global price for carbon, which provides the right incentives for everyone to play their part.”
ExxonMobile: "Rising greenhouse gas emissions pose significant risks to society and ecosystems."
ConocoPhilips:
“We recognize that human activity, including the burning of fossil fuels, is
contributing to increased concentrations of greenhouse gas (GHG) in the atmosphere that can lead to
adverse changes in global climate.”
