You missed "Climate change is real and caused by humans but it's the responsibility of individuals to fix it."

FTFY:

Right now oil companies are at an inserted stage before oops which is "it's too hard and too late to do anything about it now, we're all doomed anyway"

“Hydrogen is the Future” - sponsored by Shell

After years of denialism and fucking up our planet these cunts want to sell us the solution to the problem they caused so that we stay dependent on their supply chain and pipelines.

I have an idea that might work for solving climate change. It has no scientific basis but hear me out, I think it's worth at least trying. We should try sacrificing some oil execs in a volcano. Maybe tie them to a barrel of oil so that the earth understands we are trying to return what we took and make up for it a bit, so please chill out. Probably won't actually do anything but it wouldn't hurt to at least try it for a few decades, right?

There is the doomerism timeline. "Well, it's too late now, no reason to change anything now!".

Doomerism is just an evolution of binary thinking.

"Animal agriculture produces 65% of the world's nitrous oxide emissions which has a global warming impact 296 times greater than carbon dioxide."

Veganism would be the biggest boycott to combat climate change while still allowing workers to still go to work.

"Nearly half of the nation’s top 100 landowners are billionaires, according to publicly available data, and many include farms and ranches among their holdings."

Exxon knew since at least the 70s

I'd add an overlapping step sponsored by BP in 2004: "Climate Change is real, and here's a calculator to show you, that we have nothing to do with it."

For the uninitiated: The Carbon Footprint Calculator was introduced by BP in 2004 as what can only be described as a successful attempt to shift attention and blame to the general public.

You forgot the "yes it is real and it's the consumers fault" phase

Climate change deniers changed their tune. They re-branded themselves as "climate skeptic", and from outright denialism they shifted to "climate change is happening, but it happened before and this one will not be as bad."

There is one step in between. "Climate change is real and caused by humans, but it's already too late, might as well keep drilling"

Executives for these companies should publicly hang for this

The one from Total lately is more subtle: climate change is real and humans cause it, but there's still an increasing demand for fossil fuel, so we answer it (would rather buy more from the Russians?), by opening new wells we keep it affordable for the people (do you want yellow jackets again?).

Let's all remember that jury nullification exists, even if being on jury duty kind of sucks.

we're approximately three inches right of fuck

I zoomed in the image as much as I could so 3 inches to the right is not that bad. I'm glad I could pull my weight to save the climate.

Progress 🙄

Before that: 80 years of "things are definitely going to heat up"

Even if someone isn't convinced climate change is caused by humans, pretty much all of the shit that causes climate change is some form of pollution.

Can we make an effort to pollute our environment a little less, at least?

Stop burning finite resources like coal and oil, just because?
