Because the science became so obvious even THEY could no longer deny it.

Sorry I dont buy that, they could have maintained SOP with a few well placed funds in the right automakers pockets and kept right on going with business as usual, with no fear of being outed with alternative fuel. Something or Someone convinced them it was in their best interest. And it wasnt science.

Put a Tiger In Your Think Tank

ExxonMobil has pumped more than $8 million into more than 40 think tanks; media outlets; and consumer, religious, and even civil rights groups that preach skepticism about the oncoming climate catastrophe.

The oil giant ExxonMobil has admitted that its support for lobby groups that question the science of climate change may have hindered action to tackle global warming. In its corporate citizenship report, released last week, ExxonMobil says it intends to cut funds to several groups that "divert attention" from the need to find new sources of clean energy.

You and many others have been manipulated by the millions spent by fossil fuel companies like Exxon-Mobil.

It is time to WAKE UP.

Why is working towards a common goal, particularly for the good of people and the planet, such a bad thing? When did working together become such an evil conspiracy? Not that I don''''t believe in evil or in conspiracies. I just don''''t see the everywhere.

There is nothing wrong with working together for the good of the people or the planet, if that is the true intent, just to much "other" going on to make it that simple. The current economy of the global markets, the current push for globalization in climate change, to many "bad" rulers being forced out by bigger countries. It just suggests a more sinister motive.

Wow! That is some serious deductive reasoning. You got all of that from too much soot in the air?

Thats just part of it. To many countries working toward common goals, with a select few remaining in power.

Lets talk money, and who has the most to gain from continued denial of climate change:


Exxon Mobil''s staggering $40.6 billion earnings for 2007 beat its own one-year-old record for the biggest corporate profits ever by 3 percent. Put together with the announcement by the No. 2 U.S. oil company, Chevron, of an $18.7 billion year, up 9 percent over 2006, plus the earlier results of Shell and ConocoPhillips, and that''s more than $100 billion in profits from four companies.
