ExxonMobil, lucros e aquecimento global

Notícias sobre os lucros da ExxonMobil e um lembrete sobre o papel que tem tido na criação de um clima de cepticismo sobre o aquecimento global, sobre as suas consequências, e a responsabilidade do homem: Gas Prices Up, Globe Still Warming and ExxonMobil Earnings Soar DeSmogBlog.





Um excerto - sigam as ligações:
"Expected annual earnings for ExxonMobil in 2007 are a whopping $39 billion - or about $106 million a day, $4.4 million an hour and $73,000 a second.
On another entirely unrelated note, ExxonMobil and their
heavily sponsored third-party associations have decried solutions to global warming as just too darn expensive. In fact, until very recently, ExxonMobil did not even acknowledge that global warming was anything to worry about.
Many more have claimed that attempts to put a cap on greenhouse gas emissions would
cripple industry, cause huge upswings in the price of oil, and inevitably the price of gas for the everyday consumer."
