The total amount of carbon released into the atmosphere by the production and use of Exxon’s oil and gas output is calculated at 500 million tons a year, or six billion tons during Mr Raymond’s tenure.<\/em> \u00bb<\/p>\n<\/p>\n\tCes chiffres coupant le souffle ou bien d\u00e9clenchant un fou-rire nerveux c’est selon, l’affaire fait tout de m\u00eame grand bruit. Lorsqu’un syst\u00e8me en arrive \u00e0 ces extr\u00e9mit\u00e9s si \u00e9tranges, il m\u00e9rite effectivement une sorte de psychanalyse ; en attendant, il est contest\u00e9. C’est la premi\u00e8re fois qu’une mise \u00e0 la retraite vertueusement capitaliste est accompagn\u00e9e de tant de manifestations de m\u00e9contentement<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
\t\u00ab Protesters descended on the annual shareholder meeting of the world’s largest oil company’s in Dallas, Texas, amid fury over the lavish lifestyle that it plans to fund for Lee Raymond, who retired after 12 years as chairman and chief executive.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n\t\u00bb Exxon has been condemned by green groups for fuelling the world’s addiction to oil by opposing the Kyoto treaty on reducing emissions and refusing to invest a penny in alternative energy sources. <\/em>[…] Up to 100 protesters gathered outside the Morton H Meyerson Symphony Centre in downtown Dallas to bang drums and chant slogans, including Pumping global warming lies and No planet, no dividends.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n\t\u00bb Shawnee Hoover, the director of the Exxpose Exxon coalition of environmental groups, said the size of Mr Raymond’s retirement package had crystallised anger against the company, the squeeze on oil prices and the company’s increasingly isolated stance on alternative energy. <\/em>[…] Exxpose Exxon is encouraging consumers to boycott Exxon Mobil’s service stations, which include the Esso brand. The coalition includes Friends of the Earth, the Union of Concerned Scientists and Greenpeace, which has disrupted Exxon board meetings and speeches by Mr Raymond over several years.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n\t\u00bb Ben Stewart, of Greenpeace UK, said: Exxon bosses are the Darth Vaders of global warming. They have run a 50-year-long campaign of dirty tricks designed to block action on the greatest threat to humanity. In years to come, the campaign by this company will be regarded as nothing less than a crime. There are striking parallels with the propaganda campaigns run by tobacco companies in the Sixties, but the damage done by this company could be much greater.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n\t(…)<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
\t\u00bb Investors lambasted Exxon’s board for Mr Raymond’s retirement package, and several said they would withhold their support for the re-election of directors on the remuneration committee. Others argued refusing to invest in renewable energy would condemn the company to extinction. Resolutions proposed by green groups attracted more support than in previous years but were still defeated.<\/em> \u00bb<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
