Has Exxon Mobil’s war on climate science actually changed policy for the worse? Maybe not. Although most governments have done little to curb greenhouse gases, and the Bush administration has done nothing, it’s not clear that policies would have been any better even if Exxon Mobil had acted more responsibly.
But the fact is that whatever small chance there was of action to limit global warming became even smaller because Exxon Mobil chose to protect its profits by trashing good science. And that, not the paycheck, is the real scandal of Mr. Raymond’s reign as Exxon Mobil’s chief executive.
If Exxon Mobil is using “bad science” to protect its bottom line, I have to think about whether I want to continue using my extremely convenient little Mobile key-tag. Maybe I should think about mailing it back to Mobil as a protest of their policies.
