“In a quarter-page advertorial in Thursday’s New York Times, ExxonMobil launched a new greenwashing campaign to salvage its earned reputation as Earth’s number one global warming villain. For over a decade the giant oil company has waged a successful multi-million dollar propaganda campaign to deceive the public about global warming. Using phony think tanks like the Competitive Enterprise Institute, scientists-for-hire called biostitutes, slick public relations firms, and their indentured servants in the political process, they have intentionally defrauded the public by promoting the notion that global warming is a hoax or a sketchy theory that requires more study. The company now asserts that its position on global warming has been ‘misunderstood,’ but its decade of mischief is well documented.” (01/31/07)
