    Default ExxonMobil Is Still Bankrolling Climate Science Deniers

    ExxonMobil says it believes “the risk of climate change is real,” and it is “committed to being part of the solution.” The largest investor-owned oil company in the world also says it supports a federal carbon tax and the Paris climate agreement.

    Then why, after all these years, is the company still financing advocacy groups, think tanks, and business associations that reject the reality and seriousness of the climate crisis, as well as members of Congress who deny the science and oppose efforts to rein in carbon emissions?

    According to the company’s latest grantmaking report, it gave $772,500 to 10 such groups in 2018, which does not include its annual dues to trade groups such as the American Petroleum Institute, which opposes a carbon tax. In addition, ExxonMobil continued to promote gridlock directly on Capitol Hill. Two-thirds of the $1.65 million it spent on congressional election campaigns during the 2017-18 election cycle went to climate science deniers.

    Nearly half of ExxonMobil’s 2018 donations to nonprofit denier groups went to the U.S. Chamber of Commerce. Another 30 percent went to the American Enterprise Institute and the Manhattan Institute, which have been ExxonMobil grantees for 20 years. All told, the company has spent some $37 million since 1998 on a network of denier organizations — a sorry record of support that ranks second only to Charles Koch and his brother, the late David Koch, owners of the coal, oil and gas conglomerate Koch Industries.

    The usual suspects will come scurrying out to deny climate science but the real morons don't even receive compensation and do it for their own bat crap crazy ideology.

    Exxon Mobile is akin to Holocaust deniers as are their accomplices and enablers.

    A Modest Proposal For Separating Blue States From Red

    Dear Red-State Trump Voter,
    Let’s face it, guys: We’re done.


    It is a tragedy that so much of the work that so many men and women toiled at for so long to make this a better country, and a better world, has been thrown away, leaving us all in such needless peril.

    This is why our separation in all but name is necessary.

    There is no such thing as 'climate science'. There are no theories in science about climate. Theories of science must be falsifiable. That means they must also be quantifiable.

    Climate is a subjective word. There is desert climate, marine climate, mountain climate, tropical climate, etc. There is no global climate. There are no quantifiable values in climate.

    There are no climate science deniers; there are AGW skeptics however.

    Once again an idiot on left creates a straw man so that he/she can beat the ever living crap out of it.

    Humans are returning CO2, sequestered by life over millions of years, ... BACK into the atmosphere. It's called sustainability. And it is a great thing .

    The only other way to restore the atmosphere is by extreme volcanoes.

    Socialism is just the modern word for monarchy.

    D.C. has become a Guild System with an hierarchy and line of accession much like the Royal Court or priestly classes.

    Private citizens are perfectly able of doing a better job without "apprenticing".

    Somebody has to pursue science. The consensus gave up on that 20+ years ago when there was none.
