ExxonMobil “Our position on climate change”
http://corporate.exxonmobil.com/en/current-issues/climate-policy/climate-perspectives/our-position
“The risk of climate change is clear and the risk warrants action. Increasing carbon emissions in the atmosphere are having a warming effect. There is a broad scientific and policy consensus that action must be taken to further quantify and assess the risks.”
So the debate isn’t if climate change exists or if fossil fuels (carbon emissions) are changing the climate, but now the debate is what percentage of climate change is caused by man?
Exxon Mobil is ordered to hand over climate change research
LA Times, 12 Jan 2017

“A Massachusetts judge has ordered Exxon Mobil to submit 40 years of documents regarding the company’s studies of the impact of fossil fuels on climate change. ...to pursue questions about whether Exxon Mobil misled the public about the role fossil fuels play in climate change.”
Like the tobacco industry “...internal company documents suggested that during the 1980s and 1990s the company used climate research as part of its planning and other business practices but simultaneously argued publicly that climate change science was not clear-cut.”
Like the tobacco industry “Exxon Mobil has rejected allegations that it suppressed climate change research...”
That argument is funny if you actually read the details. The companies were clearly doing simple due diligence on the matter with a sampling of studies...which were scattered and contradictory.
So....you’re saying you believe in Gorebull warming?
