Desertification in Mauritius


Climate change is happening, and it is affecting livelihoods that depend on the natural environment. In Africa, this means nearly everyone.

The case against Esso

Posted by bex — 14 May 2002 at 12:00am - Comments

You could say that all big oil companies are the bad guys of global warming. They have discovered more oil than we can use without causing irreversible damage to the climate, and they continue to search for more.

But Esso (ExxonMobil) gets the prize! Why? Because Esso:

  • Esso powers the throne of George Bush
    Esso donated $1,086,080 to George Bush's Republican Party at the start of his election campaign. Unsurprisingly, Bush then did exactly what the oil giants wanted, pulling the United States out of the Kyoto protocol as soon as he was elected!
