It is highly unacceptable to conclude that human fatalities can be used as fossil fuel to aid the world in relation to transportation and food facilities. The Exxon representative that came on stage to announce a new climate policy for Canada can be nothing but abominable. Such a thought, ill conceived, shows we are not taking the issue of climate change seriously. The 2007 Gas & Oil Exposition (GO Expo)which featured Shepard Wolffe as a keynote speaker, spokesman for George Bush's key advisory, the National Petroleum Council (NPC),can be described as an outrageous attempt to degrade the notion of environmental empowerment. The fact that human fatalities as a means of moving forward in climate policy issues, was taken to a whole new limitation at the Gas and oil exposition. The commissioned study into climate change and possible impacts on energy policy, though biased in nature, was to focus on the industry and a conservative view on the way forward as seen by the US Department of energy. The speech was completely focused on the use of Human fatalities and how it could be used to generate oil.

The group vivoleum of the yes men group,imposters posing as Exxon Mobil and National Petroleum Council (NPC) representatives delivered an outrageous keynote speech to 300 oilmen at GO-EXPO, Canada's largest oil conference, held at Stampede Park in Calgary, Alberta, today. How is it possible to allow keynote speakers to come to an event without proper checks to confirm who they are? The audience listened to the speech, and then lit "commemorative candles" made by Vivoleum taken from the flesh of an "Exxon janitor" who died cleaning a toxic spill. The audience only reacted when the janitor, in a video tribute, announced that he wished to be transformed into candles after his death. It is unbelievable that the Commercial & Business Development Director for the company that put on the event,Simon Mellor had to physically force the speaker from the stage.The imposter even suggested the need to get ready. After all, fossil fuel development like that of their company was increasing the chances of catastrophic climate change, which could lead to massive calamities, causing migration and conflicts that would likely disable the pipelines and oil wells. Without oil the world could no longer produce or transport food, and most of humanity would starve. That it would be a tragedy, but at least all those bodies could be turned into fuel for the rest of the world. Can you believe the audacity of the idea?
The imposters were released that same day. Canada's oil sands and liquid coal are keystones of Bush's Energy Security plan. This has turned Canada into one of the world's worst carbon emitters. Liquid coal has twice the carbon footprint as that of ordinary gasoline. Hence ensuring the death of millions of people.
