Summary
For several years now, oil giant ExxonMobil has trumpeted its recognition of the risks posed by climate change. In tandem, it has proclaimed its support for climate action. Its declarations to this effect followed embarrassing revelations that for decades, the corporation had concealed its own scientists’ warnings of the catastrophic implications of continued fossil fuel extraction. In 2018, in its annual Sustainability Report, the company informed investors and the general public that it was taking a multipronged approach to addressing climate change.
