You are confusing the point. Our principles have not drifted. We support protecting our climate/environment. When there is a move to protect that, as was noted by these shareholders, we applaud that. Are you able to sort that out?
If protecting the environment is so dire, why does there need to be an agreement? Why isn't it just done on it's own? Why is there trillions of dollars coming out of the US to poor nations? MONEY doesn't cure the environment, it pollutes it further by allowing these nations to keep on polluting.
Exxon will pass the costs of this onto consumers who really don't have much choice about guying their product. If they can push coal out the way that electric generation will be replaced with natural gas...supplied by Exxon. It's not rocket science.
How much would it cost us for a new planet after we destroy this one?

From your post, I assume you are a believer that human actions affect the climate. How do you propose we go about preventing further destruction?
How much money do you think it would take to "cure" polluted water so that we can drink it?
Remember what our roads and public areas looked like before strict laws against littering were enacted?
yes i remember, but it wasnt the stricter laws that was the engine of change, but rather all the commercials telling the consumers how bad the trash on the roads looked, and how much it harmed everyone that was the engine of change in that arena. we can do the same thing in other areas as well. government regulations can be good, but for the most part are barriers to innovation.
on the other hand, the consumer can be a very powerful force for change, and can drive innovation. why? because business realizes that the consumer spends the money they make, and if they dont innovate, the money goes elsewhere.
We are all of a sudden going to see the Left supporting big oil and Wall Street. ...
It looks to me more like big oil and Wall street are coming around to a new point of view. The business community is nothing if not practical.
Something else you might want to consider ...
Shipping Plans Grow as Arctic Ice Fades
The international business community is adjusting to the new realities as climate changes. This includes many US companies.
"It is now becoming clear that interest in Arctic shipping never really faded, as a host of countries— including Russia, China, Iceland, Canada, and the United States — continue to make preparations to turn the rapidly warming Arctic into a busy global shipping route. "
CEOs are concerned about US leaving the Paris Accord? concerned my arse... there is lotsa mulah in this climate change scam... and CEOs and hedge fund managers will eagerly sell their own mommas for mulah...
Well if we keep denying climate change caused by human behavior, invest in water and air purifying technology. Also, build a house that can withstand tornadoes, hurricanes, and floods.

Will it be habitable until then as far as climate, quality of water, and quality of air?
I will be dead by then. So I don't care.
