Whats ExxonMobil want anyway?
ExxonMobil no longer questions whether climate change is happening, but now is putting emphasis on dealing with climate change through science rather than through politics. And Chief Executive Rex Tillerson has said he supports a carbon tax over a cap-and-trade scheme to regulate greenhouse gases. But as the Dallas Morning News muses, is that because he thinks that’s the best way to slow emissions, or because Tillerson thinks he can sabotage an effort at slowing emission by using “that dirty three-letter word — tax?” Donate to Avaaz to get its ad on CNN, and vote it up on Youtube. And see ExxonMobil’s lobbying efforts at facebook-of-power LittleSis. See the Al Gore parody that ExxonMobil, through its lobbying firm, sponsored back in 2006 and watch another homemade parody of ExxonMobil’s ads.
