  The last ads aren't saying climate change can't be stopped, they're saying that there's no viable way to replace oil and gas completely. Which is true. But The Guardian is a trash filled propaganda rag and says: "In contradiction to the science of stopping global heating, big oil asserts that fossil fuels will be essential for the foreseeable future." which is stupid. There isn't even such a thing as the "science of stopping global heating", that's something the Guardian made up. People (not just "big oil") are pointing out the blatantly obvious with this statement, even greens agree with that which is why so many talk about ideas like geo-engineering. As for their earlier ads, they are stating things that were and still are true. Fanatics have created a culture in which people are punished for pointing these things out but climatologists did in fact claim during the 60s and 70s there would be a new ice age, for example, and they still don't understand the physics of the climate by their own admission hence the hot model problem.
