Not to be too mean because I'm sure not all fat white guys are heartless __'s ....in fact I know some very nice and conscious f.w.g.'s but in truth, aren't alot of the world's woes tied to fat white guys or at least, white guys?

Therefore, I am ecstatic to see one stepping down into his gazillion dollar retirement. Hope it's not too tough on him.

was that this guy was stridently against the notion of global warming and climate change, even though oil use is a relatively small contributor to that problem.  Coal use is a much worse CO2 polluter.

So this CEO picks a fight that he didn't even have to pick!  BP, ShellOil, etc. adopted the notion of global warming because:

 It's probably true.
 Maybe people will like us more and buy our stuff.
 It's not even bad for business, because burning oil is not the problem, coal is.

So this guy let his emotions and environmental ranting cause a large number of people to HATE their company for no reason whatsoever.
