The oil companies got their money’s worth. Even after they admit they lied to the sheeple, the sheeple still believe them. 
:lol:

Hey, is styrofoam a petroleum based material? Like what they make foam coolers out of?  Asking for a friend

Even worse they think the democrats are perpetrating an elaborate hoax.  So I’m to believe that same people too incompetent to run a caucus were at the same time able to co-opt the worlds’ scientists into promoting and thereby masterminding a grand global Orwellian deception all so they could seize power which they haven’t.  Nevermind the fact that any power advantage that could somehow supposedly be attained by enacting climate policy could just as easily be enacted at the same level or greater by opposing Republicans thereby nullifying any advantage.  
 

Hell, Newt and Nancy used to have some agreement on the subject before the dumbing down of America began in earnest.

 

Its easy.   You just give them billions in grant money.

"I cannot see into Exxon management's heart," said physicist Martin Hoffert, describing his distress at the company's newspaper ads in the 1990s contradicting the science on fossil fuel emissions' link to global warming. That work was his focus when he was a consultant to the company from 1981 to 1987.

"Whatever its intent—willful ignorance, stymying an effective response to preserve quarterly profits, or simply an incomprehensible refusal to incorporate their own world-class research and results into their business plans," Hoffert said, "what they did was wrong. They deliberately created doubt when their internal research confirmed how serious a threat it was."

The scientists' work for Exxon was featured in an award-winning 2015 investigation by InsideClimate News that explored the company's shift from climate research to climate denial and was mentioned in a video played as the hearing opened. 

"In order to understand and confront the crisis we are facing, we must recognize the disastrous deception that brought us to the brink," committee chairman Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-Md.) said.

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.), who has made climate change one of her signature issues as co-sponsor of Green New Deal legislation, showed a slide of a scientific chart produced by Exxon scientists.

A 1982 Exxon report titled "CO2 Greenhouse Effect: A Technical Review" included this chart

A 1982 Exxon report titled "CO2 Greenhouse Effect: A Technical Review" included this chart, which shows projections for global temperature rise as the concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere increases. Its projections for 2019 are very close to today's conditions.

"In 1982—seven years before I was even born—Exxon accurately predicted that by this year, 2019, the Earth would hit a carbon dioxide concentration of 415 parts per million and a temperature increase of 1 degree Celsius," said Ocasio-Cortez. "Dr. Hoffert, is that correct?"

"We were excellent scientists," Hoffert responded.

Climate Policies Gain Traction on Capitol Hill

What Exxon knew, and when the company knew it, will be crucial in the New York trial, where the state attorney general is arguing that the oil company defrauded investors by misleading them about the risks it faces from future climate regulations.

It also may prove to be important in shaping policy in Washington. Although the hearing did not focus on any legislative proposals to address climate change, the fact that they are being discussed on Capitol Hill was made clear by Republicans on the committee, who used their turns to bash proposals for a Green New Deal and carbon taxes.

 

 

 

For the Sheeple.

Please explain its' relevance to Exxon hiding their climate change research and actively funding denial of their own research.

Post all the old Exxon conspiracy BS you want. Still doesn't change the fact that you are a fraud and a hypocrite. 

Exxon produces hydrocarbons that you use to pollute the world and line your pockets. You are a fraud.
