Would you say ExxonMobil was a climate alarmist? Because if one of the biggest producers of carbon emitting products has produced information in line with what other climate change scientists have released, then it's in fact your head in the sand opinion that's wrong.
Memos unearthed in 2015 suggest the conglomerate long knew of the link between burning fossil fuels and global warming — despite downplaying it. Now researchers have put hard numbers on that apparent duplicity. A new analysis shows that ExxonMobil’s internal projections broadly matched, and occasionally outperformed, the worrying forecasts made by outside academics and government scientists over the same period.

The analysis was carried out by Geoffrey Supran, now environmental policy researcher at the University of Miami, climatologist Stefan Rahmstorf and Harvard university historian of science Naomi Oreskes. They gathered all known company material concerning anthropogenic global warming: 32 internal documents by ExxonMobil scientists and managers between 1977 and 2002, plus 72 peer-reviewed publications written or co-written by company scientists between 1982 and 2014.
From these, the researchers pulled out 16 temperature projections, calculated between 1977 and 2003 using climate models either built or run in-house (sometimes with academic collaborators), and rated their accuracy. Overall, the company’s global warming projections closely tracked subsequent observed temperature increases: between 63 and 83 per cent were judged to be accurate. The material also showed company scientists forecasting a warming of 0.2C per decade, in line with models elsewhere.

It really is amazing. Climate zealots used to say shit like “turning down your thermostat by just 3 degrees in the winter can save the planet! Buy a led light when your old bulbs burn out!”
Free/cheap and easy “solutions” that didn’t impact our daily lives.
Now they are like “ban all meat! Have an abortion! Ban gas powered cars and buy an expensive electric vehicle!” All while they are traveling around the world in their private jet.
This is what happens if you let the lunacy of the left grow even slightly; they turn everything they touch into shit.
