Exxon Mobile Accused of Trying to Mislead Public

The Union of Concerned Scientists released a report on Wednesday accusing Exxon Mobil of spending millions of dollars to manipulate public opinion on the seriousness of global warming.

“Many of the tactics, and even some of the same organizations and actors used by Exxon Mobil to mislead the public, draw upon the tobacco industry’s 40-year disinformation campaign,” the report said. link

Similar to the tobacco industries' publicity campaigns, this shows how willing a company is to mislead the public where its own interests are concerned. And yet oil still controls government? Where are they taking us?
