Exxon is still lying

Well, despite Exxon's protestations of squeaky-cleanness earlier this year, it looks like climate change skeptics can rest easy in their beds; climate change denial is going to be a lucrative industry for a while yet.

Esso funds groups to produce junk science that denies climate changeEsso has done more than any other company to stop the world from tackling climate change.

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

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.

The StopEsso UK coalition said today that the 22% shareholder vote against ExxonMobil on climate change at its annual meeting in Dallas should be a wake-up call for the company's anti-global warming stance.

The vote, worth around $44 billion worth of share value, called on ExxonMobil to report to shareholders on how it will mitigate the risks presented by climate change. Another, similar, resolution calling on the company to present a similar report on renewable energy, garnered 21%, up from last year's vote of 20.3%.
