SCIENTISTS HAVE LONG PREDICTED THAT FOSSIL FUELS LEAD TO GLOBAL WARMING BUT APPARENTLY EXXON MOBIL HAS KNOWN ABOUT IT FOR DECADES

THAT’S ACCORDING TO A NEW STUDY PUBLISHED IN THE JOURNAL SCIENCE – WHICH SHOWS EXXON’S OWN CLIMATE MODELING DATA FROM THE 1970’S DIDN’T JUST CONFIRM WHAT SCIENTISTS WERE SAYING – THEY PREDICTED THE RISE IN GLOBAL TEMPERATURES WITH PRECISION ACCURACY EQUAL TO OR EVEN BETTER THAN GOVERNMENT & ACADEMIC SCIENTISTS

SPECIFICALLY, EXXON’S PROJECTIONS SHOWED THAT THE WORLD WOULD WARM AT A RATE OF ABOUT .2 DEGREES CELSIUS PER DECADE – AND THAT HUMAN INFLUENCED GLOBAL WARMING WOULD BE DETECTED AROUND THE YEAR 2000

THAT MIGHT COME AS A SURPRISE GIVEN THAT EXXONMOBIL – WENT ON TO PUBLICLY DENY CLEAR LINKS – CALLING MODELS SHEER SPECULATION IN 1999 AND NOT COMPETENT IN 2013 – THE COMPANY EVEN FUNDED CLIMATE DENIAL CAMPAIGNS UNTIL AT LEAST 2018

AND IT’S MADE EXXON THE TARGET OF NUMEROUS LAWSUITS OVER THE YEARS – WHICH CLAIM THE COMPANY IN FACT KNEW ABOUT THE EFFECTS OF OIL AND GAS ON THE CLIMATE BUT CHOSE TO MISLEAD THE PUBLIC IN THEIR ADS

IN A STATEMENT EXXON DISMISSED THE RECENT REVELATIONS WRITING ITS CLIMATE SCIENCE HAS QUOTE DEVELOPED ALONG WITH THAT OF THE BROADER SCIENTIFIC COMMUNITY AND THAT THOSE WHO CLAIM ‘EXXON KNEW’ ARE WRONG
