World at last taking threat seriously, despite Bush

When it comes to oil, how special does a special relationship become? Tony Blair is often called George Bush's poodle, but is there more than meets the eye?

Don't Buy Esso: Bad CompanyAs a taste of what is to come during a second term with Bush, an advisor to the President on climate issues came out claiming global warming is a myth designed to 'hamper American competitiveness.'


Myron Ebell, a director at the Competitive Enterprise Institute, told the BBC's Radio 4 that claims that the climate is threatened are "ridiculous, unrealistic and alarmist."

The President of the Unites States: Esso

The President of the Unites States: Esso

There's nothing nastier than a wounded tiger. Esso is licking its wounds as Russia moves closer to ratifying the Kyoto Protocol. But the world's number one environmental criminal is still fighting tooth and nail to deny the truth about climate change. The US government is increasingly isolated and Esso is out to ensure its workers keep it that way by voting for US politicians who oppose action against global warming.

Bad company

Posted by bex — 24 March 2003 at 9:00am - Comments

Don't Buy Esso: Bad CompanyEsso (also known as ExxonMobil) is the most powerful company in the world, and one of the biggest. Esso will stop at nothing to keep its largest market, the USA, addicted to oil. This oil addiction is fuelling war and causing global warming, putting millions of lives at risk.

Dirty politics
Esso has always opposed any policy that would reduce the need for oil in the US. It is no coincidence that Esso's campaign has met with increasing success since George W Bush entered the White House. Esso helped him get there.

Bush's road to the White House was paved with oil money. Esso gave more dollars to the Republican Party than any other oil company in the lead-up to Bush's election in 2000.

Spoils of war

Esso is doing more than any other company to keep the US hooked on oil. This is fuelling Bush's war and causing global warming.

For decades Esso (ExxonMobil in the USA) has opposed any policy seeking to reduce the need for oil in the US.

You can hardly open a newspaper these days without finding the latest revelations about how the White House and American intelligence failed to interpret signs that the September 11th attack was being prepared. Eleven months after that day, discussions about 'security' seem to have stalled within that very narrow framework.
