00:00 Hello, my name is Oblivia Colwine,
00:03 and on behalf of the fossil fuel industries,
00:05 I would like to say a huge thank you
00:08 for all your support this bumper year.
00:11 People like you have pumped billions of your hard-earned pounds
00:15 into our gas and oil businesses.
00:18 The cash from your pensions has helped us dig, drill and destroy
00:23 more of the planet than ever before.
00:25 We've even managed to build a few little wind turbines
00:28 to keep Greta and her chums happy.
00:31 Cute.
00:32 You see, every little drop from your precious nest egg adds up.
00:36 So while the global temperature may go up a teensy-weensy degree or two,
00:41 our profits are literally soaring.
00:44 And that's all thanks to you.
00:46 So to guarantee us all a warmer, snugglier future,
00:50 please keep sending your pensions our way.
00:53 You know the drill.
00:55 [Laughter]
00:59 Oh, fracking hell!
