Issue:

For at least a decade, ExxonMobil has been using its wealth and power to undermine national and international efforts to combat global warming. Exxon is the only oil giant directly funding global warming deniers as part of its tobacco industry-style plan to manufacture uncertainty around the science of global warming. ExxonMobil is the ONLY major oil company: -Denying the urgency of global warming and funding front groups and think tanks that mislead the public about global warming and delay crucial action; -Refusing to invest in clean, renewable energy that will reduce consumer energy costs, lessen America’s oil dependence, decrease air pollution and health care costs, and curb global warming; -Still a member of Arctic Power, the single-issue lobby group trying to open the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. And if that weren’t enough: -ExxonMobil has still not paid the punitive damages it owes for the 1989 Exxon Valdez Oil Spill! So far, 6,000 fisherman and others harmed by the devastating spill have died awaiting compensation.

Belief:

ExxonMobil is not changing on its own. The company wields tremendous power over the future of America’s energy. It’s time to take matters into our own hands by exxposing Exxon’s dirty practices and pressuring it to be a part of the solution, not the problem.
