ExxonMobil CEO Apologizes After Covert Recording of Key Lobbyist Reveals Oil Behemoth’s Battle Against Climate Legislation
As presented in the article linked here, a senior ExxonMobil lobbyist has been captured on camera claiming that the oil giant is waging a secret war on climate change legislation. The covert recordings was filmed by Greenpeace UK.
Did anyone think this wasn’t happening? Who on Earth believed that Exxon was peacefully accepting legislation that would help transition the world away from oil?
Obviously, they have all kinds of PR campaigns to deceive the world about the true nature of the operations and future strategies, but is anyone stupid enough to accept this crap as truth?
This is an organization that became aware more than 40 years ago that its business practice would soon cause extreme long-term environmental damage, but concealed those finding until it is possibly too late to turn all this around.
And CEO Darren Woods apologizes? For what? The leak? The deception? How about half a century of full frontal assault on the only planet we have?
