I bet if Exxon matched their federal grants, they would have a change of tune very fast.
Exxon and many large oil companies are increasingly under boycott blackmail to conform and constantly under suspicion.
Worse still many of them have been convinced that they can profit from the regulations and inherit market access restrictions the political efforts that result from this hoax will result it.
Most large companies with large lobbying budgets generally do. That is why it is frequently easy to coop them. They know they got the power to insure they will be the one charging sky high prices on whatever is left.
Is the people of the world, the US and other advanced countries who will foot this bill for this Hoax most particularly in the form of much much higher costs of living.
And it is true, In ever collage I have ever been to there is entire degree plans decacated to teaching and spreading this lie. The left over the last few decades have built themselves an entire industry, and an entire population of people entirely depended upon this aggressive financing of this lie.
