Reposted by Scratchin'ProPhilip Hadley @lordblandings.bsky.social · 12/09/2026I’m neither a business person nor a scientist, so maybe I am naive about things like this. But why can’t these huge oil companies gradually transition themselves into energy companies that rely instead on things like solar/wind power? Maybe at this point it’s too late for a “gradual” transition. 2089149
Reposted by Scratchin'ProDavid Ho @davidho.bsky.social · 12/09/2026If you work at an oil major, I urge you to think hard about what the next decade will feel like. Do you want to greenlight another decades-long extraction project without reckoning with its full climate cost? Or use this moment to demand a different path? 203137468
Reposted by Scratchin'ProDavid Ho @davidho.bsky.social · 12/09/2026Treating this as an unstoppable race, and accepting the "endgame" of runaway warming, is a reckless gamble that should never be decided in a boardroom alone. Betting on future carbon removal to fix today's emissions requires far more confidence than the evidence supports. 63006412
Reposted by Scratchin'ProDavid Ho @davidho.bsky.social · 12/09/2026A common response is "if they know this, why keep drilling?" At BP, many have not internalized the stakes personally. At ExxonMobil, the stakes are well understood, but they're locked in a race for market share, believing if they don't extract it, a competitor will. 72973409
Reposted by Scratchin'ProDavid Ho @davidho.bsky.social · 12/09/2026The people running these companies believe that climate change could kill us all by the end of the decade. This is not a fringe worry. Publicly, many executives soften their language to sound reasonable, but privately, the fear is real. No other industry poses this level of danger to civilization. 103461643
Reposted by Scratchin'ProDavid Ho @davidho.bsky.social · 12/09/2026Do not underestimate the scale of this climate crisis. We are watching feedback loops accelerate, ice sheet collapse, ocean heat content, methane release, that could lock in irreversible warming. We have all witnessed the data, and it is not slowing down. 73723676
Reposted by Scratchin'ProDavid Ho @davidho.bsky.social · 12/09/2026I resigned from ExxonMobil today. I spent the last three years doing fossil fuel extraction research at both BP and ExxonMobil. Neither company is acting responsibly. They are racing to maximize extraction while the window to act closes, and gambling with our lives. More below. 145136924892
