ExxonMobil Climate Deception Campaign Evidence Mounts

Internal files have added to evidence of an ExxonMobil climate deception campaign. In 1988, a NASA climatologist testified to Congress about climate change, and the UN established the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. Weeks before the UN vote, Exxon's Frank Sprow warned colleagues about potential negative impacts on the company if a climate consensus emerged. A previously undisclosed memo from Sprow, released in an ongoing lawsuit, highlights the company's concerns. Other documents challenge Exxon's climate-solution claims about biofuels and carbon capture and storage.
