The world will only care when millions of climate refugees start moving to cooler areas.
What the world does to those refugees… I don’t expect happiness.

Exxon produces less than 3% of the world’s daily crude demand and in May its shareholders overwhelmingly rejected calls for stronger measures to mitigate climate change.
