One of the world's largest oil companies accurately forecast how climate change would cause global temperature to rise as long ago as the 1970s, researchers claim.
ExxonMobil's private research predicted how burning fossil fuels would warm the planet but the company publicly denied the link, they suggest.
The academics analysed data in the company's internal documents.
ExxonMobil denied the allegations
@peeppeepcircus at the very least the people at Exxon who buried this data should be in prison for the remainder of their lives and all of their 100% of their assets seized.
If left up to me they would be hung from the nearest lamp post. They have, by their actions, condemned many thousands, perhaps millions, to their deaths. No punishment is too little.

I think about this with every evacuation, every shelter in place, every disruption and loss due to this new severe climate.
