You would think that after Hurricanes Katrina, Rita and Wilma that Exxon/Mobil, the oil lobby and their pseudo-think tanks would at least pause to reflect for one minute whether the sizable damage to their oil rigs and refineries may have just a tiny bit to do with global warming. Well, you might as well be waiting for Godot. These morons are as predictable as sharks in the middle of a school of tuna and equally ravenous. Now they are launching a campaign to derail the Kyoto Protocol and any meaningful efforts to counter global warming and greenhouse emissions in the European Union. For the full story on this, see:

We are dealing with a corporate mindset that is truly criminal and rapacious. Following their activities is like watching a psychotic, who, when an apartment building is on fire and people are screaming for help, races around looking for a can of gasoline to throw on the flames. It is a culture that is alienated from life, alienated from humanity, and a serious threat to our futures and the futures of our children. They have to be confronted head-on. We do not have the luxury of ignoring their assaults.
