George Monbiot writes in the Guardian this week about his approval for the appointment of Wolfowitz at the world bank.
All the world bank has ever done is serve American interests at the expense of the poor, he says. Making it that bit more obvious will only help raise the opposition to it. Hmmm. Ok.
I wonder if the same argument could be used with Exxon Mobil? Environmental activists are agitating for change in policy with share holders.
Don't we need an oil company to remind us that we are not likely to meet our green house gas reduction targets?????
I have not heard Exxon argue that their strategy of making oil more economical will achieve better results, though.
I guess it is another case of shrugging and saying we are all going to die any way so lets take a profit while we still can.
Profits go up and up with the oil price, as the oil starts to run out.
Remember, the big paper Esso tiger is watching you, just like Big Brother!
How long will it be before the paper tigers start to be seen as flammable?
