The post from Exxon speaks for itself
When it comes to climate change, read the documents
Read the documents.
Go ahead, you really should. Read the documents on the InsideClimate News site purportedly provingsome conspiracy on ExxonMobil’s part to hide our climate science findings.
In case you need help finding them, the link to the documents on theInsideClimate News site is right here.
Why do we want you to read them?
Because you will see that they completely undercut the allegations made by InsideClimate News in itsseries about ExxonMobil – allegations that were subsequently echoed by activists like Bill McKibben and Naomi Oreskes.
McKibben, for instance, wrote, “Exxon knew all that there was to know about climate change decades ago, and instead of alerting the rest of us denied the science and obstructed the politics of global warming.â€
But if you read the documents, it will become clear the opposite is true.
Read the rest.
At the time the discussions were held back in the 70’s and early 80’s, climate science was truly in its infancy. This research led to to other research, with the determination being that, yes, CO2 does cause some warming, but, it is minimal, and temperature increases mostly precede atmospheric CO2 increases. Regardless, so much of their early research was as widely wrong as all the other anthropogenic global warming research, research that is still wrong today.
From The Wall Street Journal:
There’s more at the original, but the point is clear: regardless of what people might say, what Americans are increasingly choosing to do is to buy larger vehicles.
Of course, at least part of this is driven by lower fuel prices, so the ecofascists will want government to impose taxes to force up the price of gasoline, because when it comes to consumers having a freedom of choice, people like Jeffrey don’t want them to have larger vehicles as an option.The left believe in freedom of choice in exactly one thing.
Dan,
Thanks for the shout out. People can have all the large vehicles they want as far as I’m concerned, so long as they take responsibility for the damages they’re causing.
When people DON’T take responsibility for their damaging actions, what’s a society to do? If you need a big ol’ V8 F250 to make you feel like a man again, have at it! But it seems only fair that you pay extra for the damage you’re doing to the planet.
