« Exxon finally admits denialists cause problems

Tue, 27 May 2008

Exxon has admitted - for the first time - that the climate deniers it funds are causing problems for action on climate change.

This is a first for the company which has spent, since 1998, $23 million funding the climate denial industry.

And it’s official - Exxon made this statement in this year’s Corporate Citizenship Report, released in time for its shareholder meeting.

The statement reads : "in 2008 we will discontinue contributions to several public policy interest groups whose position on climate change could divert attention from the important discussion on how the world will secure the energy required for economic growth in an environmentally responsible manner."

"Could divert attention" ? We award Exxon a special prize for the Understatement of the Year. The denial industry can be held responsible for the US’s failure to act on climate. And Exxon has been at the heart of it for more than a decade. »

Tue, 24 Jun 2008

The tipping point on global warming is close, according to James Hansen, director at NASA’s Goddard Institute for space studies.

In his speech to congress on 23 June, Hansen has issued his strongest warning yet about the state of the climate.

He focuses, at one point, on the CEO’s of major companies, singling out Exxon and Peabody in particular. "In my opinion, these CEOs should be tried for high crimes against humanity and nature."  »
