Well yes, I wonder if they had a plan beyond the statement.

Exxon produces less than 3% of the world's daily crude demand and in May its shareholders overwhelmingly rejected calls for stronger measures to mitigate climate change.

Seems like the reasoning they are going with. Really we need to make it somehow more profitable to do the right/climate focused things.

I would say they are planning on paying Congress to increase the cap. Not that we will survive till 2050
