The world's largest oil company is continuing to fund lobby groups that question the reality of global warming, despite a public pledge to cut support for such climate change denial, a new analysis shows.

This won't cost Exxon much. Just tell the mindless massses what they want to hear and they will follow.

We might as well forget global warning untill a few cities are underwater because until then there will be too many skeptics. Nobody listens to real scientists unless they say things like "red wine is good for you". -

Exon Mobile and the charlatans funded by them are terrorists, treasonous scum.

Their greed exceeds the need to provide for their own children a clean environment. They are mass murdering cons, just like their poster child, Dick Cheney.
Exon just got the contract to deveolp Iraq Oil, paid for with the blood of 36,000 dead or injured americans. Mass murdering con chickenhawk war profiteers. -

It has been shown on numerous occasions that energy companies like Exxon Mobile pay people to discredit studies that are anathema to their business. Big tobacco did the same thing and still does. Woofie on the other hand takes this information and calls Exxon funding real science. WTF Woofie, how stupid are you? Do you have anything between your ears besides stale Bud Light?

Exxon ADMITTED a few years ago to PAYING TENS OF MILLIONS (that they then charged to the American people) to crackpots for unproved denials of global warming.
FoxNews admitted to "legally" LYING as a regular way of broadcasting the news.
If THAT'S who you trust, hang it up, we don't need THAT kind of blind following in these challenging times.. -

Why do we criticize a company for funding studies that defend it yet assume that universities and scientists that get billions in government (i.e., taxpayer) funds to study global warming won't be biased. If they admit that there is nothing unusual in the warming trend and that we are currently in a cooling trend (since 1998), the money stops and the scientists have to do something else for a living.

If you can't figure the difference between objectivism and loyality, then you are indeed a moron.

The difference is enormous. When you start with a belief system, and look for facts, you can prove creationism. You can prove santa flys over the north pole. You can see gods in the stars.
That's what education is supposed to do, to impart the ability to THINK for YOURSELF, and see through the sales pitch. If a real scientist publishing experimental data could prove CO2 doesn't cause global warming, and it was repeatable, then academics would do so. But the facts and experiments and statistical analysis over decades are screaming one basic fact, Exon Mobile is killing the planet. But they don't give a flying crap, because they are making more money than ever before. They would kill every child on the planet including their own (infact that's exactly what they are doing) if it ment they could make their stockholders one more dime.
Its really pathetic that the party of ignorant cons can't tell the difference between objectivistic research and loyality to the rich. They are so cynical, they just assume everyone is a greedy lizard, like they are. That's why the work like the teliban, they need a tyrant to save them from themselves.

The rich oil companies keep pouring the money into junk science, because alot of poeple will believe it. I know alot of people are in denial about global warming, including my own family. Extremes in temperature are caused by global warming, including frigid winters, ironically, and it will get worse; It is immoral to do this to future generations. Hopefully, the Clean Air and Security Act will be passed by the Senate, although it will be a tough fight. It is a start. even though much more needs to be done.

My Fellow Americans: Here we go again the Global Warming, Climate Change, Global Wetting, Global Disintegration, Global Destruction, Fanatics are running around trying to scare the Obama Believe Anything Followers. There hope is that if they scare enough of those Un-Educated wimps that they will spread the word around the World so that whatever they want passed in the Congress will just slide through.

Now the blame goes to Exxon, which companies are next. Dunkin Donuts, Sears, Taco Bell, Southwestern Airlines, maybe Johnson & Johnson will make the Climate Change Big Bad Guy List.
By the way we have a Global Taxing Crisis right here in the U.S. of A. so who or what are we to blame? Maybe it's the Sudden Death of Michael Jackson, or perhaps the reduction of Cigarette Smokers in the Country, could it be the Loss of the Super Bowl to the Pittsburgh Steelers? Oh it Can't be the President or Congress they would never cook up anything as phony as that scenario.
One more thing before I wish you well. What are we going to do about the Global Propaganda Problem in American? Impeach the President and Replace Every Single Pin Head in the Congress?
That does sound like the most Sane Proposal up to Date.

Dear Phony American,

I'm glad you brought up the Global Propaganda problem ... as one of the foremost proponents of deviant propaganda ... (including referencing yourself as ... laughingly ... the Real American) ... I am always interested in your observations.
I believe it's important to hear the lunatic fringe ... even from those such as yourself ... who clearly hate America and what Democracy stands for.
As a believer in our system of Governance ... I will defend your right to speak out ... even though your words bespeak such a dire hatred of The United States of America ... even as your words bespeak such hatred for the Majority of Americans.
The REAL, Real American
