I think they want global warming to happen
Advertisements [?]
We're already seeing the US, Russia, Canada, etc arguing over seabed territory in the Arctic, and other countries are starting to make claims for Antarctica. With oil fields reaching their peak production levels, they need new areas to exploit. Global warming will open up new resources that could potentially far outstrip the areas that are now open. The oil companies know this - they have a vested interest in seeing global warming continue or even accelerating! Who cares if tens of millions of people perish? As long as they can keep that oil coming, it's all gravy to them. That's why they continue to deny that it's happening, and will try their hardest to forestall any action to combat global warming.

This century, we could see millions more die because some greedy Big Oil execs want to increase their profits.
