ExxonMobil's Response to Peal Oil

In the book, Peak Everything by Richard Heinberg, one of the topics that Heinberg focuses on is bridging peak oil and climate change activism. He discusses about activists involved in peak oil and climate change that some agree is a good thing while others disagree. Of the many oil companies existing, ExxonMobil gives a negative view of the peak oil and climate change issue arguing that “Peak oil theory is garbage” (Heinberg 148). ExxonMobil, like many other companies, are dependent on the world’s “solution,” which in this case is to use whatever resources left because it will take decades for them to disappear. This is not true because the purpose of companies like oil is to sell their product and profit. Clearly, ExxonMobil does not want to consumers to buy less oil only to help the environment. This will negatively impact its business. In my current essay “Destroyed World,” I argue that in the future we will be ten times as busy as we are now. The example of ExxonMobil here is relevant to my discussion because statics have shown that natural resources are rapidly declining and climate change is increasing.
