The post from Exxon speaks for itself
When it comes to climate change, read the documents
Read the documents.
Go ahead, you really should. Read the documents on the InsideClimate News site purportedly provingsome conspiracy on ExxonMobil’s part to hide our climate science findings.
In case you need help finding them, the link to the documents on theInsideClimate News site is right here.
Why do we want you to read them?
Because you will see that they completely undercut the allegations made by InsideClimate News in itsseries about ExxonMobil – allegations that were subsequently echoed by activists like Bill McKibben and Naomi Oreskes.
McKibben, for instance, wrote, “Exxon knew all that there was to know about climate change decades ago, and instead of alerting the rest of us denied the science and obstructed the politics of global warming.â€
But if you read the documents, it will become clear the opposite is true.
Read the rest.
At the time the discussions were held back in the 70’s and early 80’s, climate science was truly in its infancy. This research led to to other research, with the determination being that, yes, CO2 does cause some warming, but, it is minimal, and temperature increases mostly precede atmospheric CO2 increases. Regardless, so much of their early research was as widely wrong as all the other anthropogenic global warming research, research that is still wrong today.
