Lonnie, Just re-read your post. I guess I agree on the "contradictory" part in the sense that they are just delaying the panic that we are likely to face. I don't think any company wants to be the first to wholly endorse the need for drastic action, but certainly Total and Chevron are basically saying this, albeit in understated terms. Even Shell vaguely endorsed this view in recent comments by Van der Veer (you kinda have to read between the lines though).
