ExxonMobil Shareholders Refuse LGBT Rights for Employees

The title says it all.

ExxonMobil is the only Fortune 50 company not to have a written policy protecting the rights of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender employees.

Ridiculous.

At the same meeting, CEO Rex W. Tillerson showed why it can be so tough to make headway in slowing down global warming. While he later (or at least later in the article) acknowledged his disbelief that global warming exists, his thoughts concerning the world's use of alternative energy was merely that, "it would be of minor significance without technology advances (quote is from the article, not Tillerson himself).

He later says that alternative energy investments would not be worth it for Exxon. Of course, if a company like ExxonMobil did invest in new technologies, alternative energy would cease to be "of minor significance" and, thus, probably well worth it for his company.

I can't figure out if his disbelief in global warming is due to what he feels are his business interests or if he doesn't see that a company such as his can lead the way into an extrememly profitable undertaking or he just doesn't trust scientists until all of them, including those with a political or religious agenda, come to 100% agreement. Or maybe he's just happy with where ExxonMobil is now, figures it will continue to make huge profits for the time he's their "leader" but, if the time comes that it looks like a promising technology is on the horizon, he can just dig in the company coffers and buy the technology.
