Researchers found a “systematic, quantifiable discrepancy” between what the oil giant said about climate change in private versus what it told the public.
Exxon Mobil Corp. deliberately deceived the public about the dangers of climate change for four decades, a new Harvard University study finds.
For the peer-reviewed study published in the journal Environmental Research Letters Wednesday, two Harvard researchers analyzed nearly 200 documents related to Exxon Mobil’s climate change communications. The researchers found that America’s largest oil producer had repeatedly made “explicit factual misrepresentations” about global warming in advertisements aimed at the general public, while simultaneously acknowledging its risks behind closed doors.
“Our findings are clear: Exxon Mobil misled the public about the state of climate science and its implications,” study authors Naomi Oreskes and Geoffrey Supran wrote in a New York Times op-ed this week. “Available documents show a systematic, quantifiable discrepancy between what Exxon Mobil’s scientists and executives discussed about climate change in private and in academic circles, and what it presented to the general public.”
The discrepancy, the researchers said, was staggering. About 80 percent of Exxon Mobil’s research and internal memos acknowledged that climate change was real and caused by humans. However, 80 percent of the company’s newspaper ads regarding climate change questioned this fact, the study found.
And that's the type of shit you can't sweep under no rug.

But like I said yesterday, they don't care about the inconsistency. They only care about getting their papers published in lying, morally bankrupt, right-wing rags like The Daily Fail, The Telegraph, and Breitbart.In an article for the Guardian, one of the researchers, Dana Nuccitelli points out another red flag with the climate-change-denying papers: “There is no cohesive, consistent alternative theory to human-caused global warming,” he writes. “Some blame global warming on the sun, others on orbital cycles of other planets, others on ocean cycles, and so on. There is a 97% expert consensus on a cohesive theory that’s overwhelmingly supported by the scientific evidence, but the 2–3% of papers that reject that consensus are all over the map, even contradicting each other.”

You need to understand who the IPA are. They are a party political organisation whose only goal is to promote conservatism. There is nothing objective about anything they do. Half the conservative party in Australia were either IPA members, or their main advisers are former IPA members.mistermack wrote:Ha ha.

You can expect major attacks and attempts to rubbish the study.
These people have careers and pensions to defend.
This is what happens to ANYBODY that dares to question the "consensus".
Which is exactly why there IS a consensus. Very few dare to even publish stuff that points elsewhere.
They would rather bury it, than risk being shunned.
So you have to admire these Ozzies for daring to point out the emperor's lack of clothes.
