NOTE: We don't support egging exxon any longer. Protests and public education similar to the exposure of Scientology by Anonymous would be more effective.
Exxon Mobile (aka ESSO aka Imperial Oil) continues to fund groups in the global warming denial community...policy centers and think tanks hard at work to confuse and misinform the public about global warming.
This is well documented...see the details here.
Not enough of the the public is aware of Exxon's denial funding activities. The media doesn't highlight it. Many people think details of Exxon's dishonesty are only "conspiracy theories", when in fact EXXON's funding of denial groups is an open fact fully evidenced in EXXON's own financial disclosures.
If this video causes action then the media will be forced to pay attention to the reasons listed within (greenpeace report, UCS report, Senators letter, etc.)
That would be progress.
The majority of people are concerned about global warming and want it addressed. When the majority of people find out Exxon has been paying to confuse them about global warming, there will be hell to pay.
