The oil giant ExxonMobil has admitted that its support for lobby groups that question the science of climate change may have hindered action to tackle it. In its corporate citizenship report, released last week, ExxonMobil says it intends to cut funds to several groups that 'divert attention' from the need to find new sources of clean energy.

    Sucks for the deniers. Think they can go back to making money by denying cigarettes cause cancer?

      Sorry, all it means is Global Warming Kool-Aid-gulpers won't be able to rely on the old ad hominem attack of "They accepted a portion of funding from Exxon" when Gore-acle lemmings refuse to acknowledge valid science contrary to the "man made" global warming BS.

        [Czech President Vaclav] Klaus, an economist, said he opposed the "climate alarmism" perpetuated by environmentalism trying to impose their ideals, comparing it to the decades of communist rule he experienced growing up in Soviet-dominated Czechoslovakia.

        "Like their (communist) predecessors, they will be certain that they have the right to sacrifice man and his freedom to make their idea reality," he said.

        "In the past, it was in the name of the Marxists or of the proletariat - this time, in the name of the planet," he added.

        Klaus said a free market should be used to address environmental concerns and said he oppposed as unrealistic regulations or greenhouse gas capping systems...

        "It could be even true that we are now at a stage where mere facts, reason and truths are powerless in the face of the global warming propaganda," he said.

        Noooooo. Ya think? Is that just a nice way of saying "we're sleazes, but it doesn't meet our agenda any more to continue on this path." I have to wonder what they're up to. Applying for tax payer $$$ so they can jump on the alternative energy bus, perhaps?
