Exxon's Official Position

After reading Monday's article in the British newspaper The Independent pointing out that Exxon Mobil money is still flowing to climate change skeptics, Dot Earth blogger Andy Revkin emailed Alan Jeffers, Exxon Mobil's media relations manager.

Jeffers's response is definitely worth reading. A taste:

We take the issue of climate change seriously and believe the risks warrant action. ExxonMobil is taking action by reducing greenhouse gas emissions in our operations, helping consumers reduce their emissions, supporting research into technology breakthroughs and participating in constructive dialogue on policy options with NGOs, industry and policy makers, such as our recent statements regarding the benefits of a revenue-neutral carbon tax.


Read the rest of Jeffers's email over on Dot Earth. And read more of Exxon Mobil's thoughts on climate change on their website.
