>> ExxonMobil is the world's most profitable corporation. Its sales now
>> amount to more than $1bn a day. It makes most of this money from oil,
>> and has more to lose than any other company from efforts to tackle
>> climate change. To safeguard its profits, ExxonMobil needs to sow doubt
>> about whether serious action needs to be taken on climate change. But
>> there are difficulties: it must confront a scientific consensus as
>> strong as that which maintains that smoking causes lung cancer or that
>> HIV causes Aids. So what's its strategy?
>>
>> Article continues
>> The website Exxonsecrets.org, using data found in the company's
>> official documents, lists 124 organisations that have taken money from
>> the company or work closely with those that have. These organisations
>> take a consistent line on climate change: that the science is
>> contradictory, the scientists are split, environmentalists are
>> charlatans, liars or lunatics, and if governments took action to
>> prevent global warming, they would be endangering the global economy
>> for no good reason. The findings these organisations dislike are
>> labelled "junk science". The findings they welcome are labelled "sound
>> science".
>>
>> Among the organisations that have been funded by Exxon are such
>> well-known websites and lobby groups as TechCentralStation, the Cato
>> Institute and the Heritage Foundation. Some of those on the list have
>> names that make them look like grassroots citizens' organisations or
>> academic bodies: the Centre for the Study of Carbon Dioxide and Global
>> Change, for example. One or two of them, such as the Congress of Racial
>> Equality, are citizens' organisations or academic bodies, but the line
>> they take on climate change is very much like that of the other
>> sponsored groups. While all these groups are based in America, their
>> publications are read and cited, and their staff are interviewed and
>> quoted, all over the world.
>>
>> By funding a large number of organisations, Exxon helps to create the
>> impression that doubt about climate change is widespread. For those who
>> do not understand that scientific findings cannot be trusted if they
>> have not appeared in peer-reviewed journals, the names of these
>> institutes help to suggest that serious researchers are challenging the
>> consensus.
>>
>> This is not to claim that all the science these groups champion is
>> bogus. On the whole, they use selection, not invention. They will find
>> one contradictory study - such as the discovery of tropospheric
>> cooling, which, in a garbled form, has been used by Peter Hitchens in
>> the Mail on Sunday - and promote it relentlessly. They will continue to
>> do so long after it has been disproved by further work. So, for
>> example, John Christy, the author of the troposphere paper, admitted in
>> August 2005 that his figures were incorrect, yet his initial findings
>> are still being circulated and championed by many of these groups, as a
>> quick internet search will show you.
>>
>> But they do not stop there. The chairman of a group called the Science
>> and Environmental Policy Project is Frederick Seitz. Seitz is a
>> physicist who in the 1960s was president of the US National Academy of
>> Sciences. In 1998, he wrote a document, known as the Oregon Petition,
>> which has been cited by almost every journalist who claims that climate
>> change is a myth.
