Exxon Pays Big Bucks To Cover Up Climate Change
Over the decades, Exxon-Mobil, the largest oil company in the world, has brought us oil spills from Alaska to Nigeria, engaged in illegal bribes and dealings with foreign governments, and enabled human rights violators. Of course, this “Corporate Person” denies all of it – just as it has been denying the effects of its products on global climate change for the past thirty years. It was more than just denial: it was outright lies and deception, all in the name of preserving profits.
Those lies and deceptions have been going on for more than a generation – and it has put our entire planet at mortal risk.
Ring of Fire's Mike Papantonio and Farron Cousins discuss this.
