I don't see an answer to why you trust Exxon.

Also, if you trust them so much, what makes you think they have any reason to hide it?

They're not hiding anything. 

Look at those "whistle blowers" for who they actually are.

Seriously.. my employer was also a big money maker.  I can run to the press tomorrow and say all sorts of shit.  If the press thinks it's newsworthy or helps their narrative in any way, it gets published even if not one syllable of what I say is real.  That would make me one of those "anonymous sources" or whichever. 

I trust Exxon because windmills aren't providing my electricity or heating my apartment.  Fossil fuels are.  

For every set of windmills you see, there's a running fossil fuel generator running as backup and usually has to kick in as primary until the wind starts blowing again.

Oh look here ExxonMobil is more evil than I thought. They didn’t pay for cherry picked studies.  They had excellent scientists studying climate change as far back as the 1970s. Models that surpassed those of independent scientists. Did they release their findings that humans were speeding climate change, specifically burning if fossil fuels?  Nope. They spend decades spreading misinformation and denying what they knew was true.  This is who Packard shills for. Literally evil people

Oh, look at this guy, just parroting whatever NPR says.  No critical thinking or logic here, folks.

 

Why would anybody whose primary job is acquiring and selling oil pay a bunch of egg heads to sit around and study the impending ice age or whichever?

Dumb bitch can’t dispute articles honestly because she can’t read

Notice they all have exactly the same tired theme?

 

Why would anybody whose primary job is acquiring and selling fossil fuels pay a bunch of egg heads to sit around and ponder the impending ice age or whichever?

A critical thinker would realize that a company making money off fossil fuels can get away with a lot of bullshit if they put on a face of environmental responsibility by showing you have scientists studying the impacts of their product. They would also not ask a stupid question like “why would they pay egg heads to study what the shit they work with every fuckin day does?”

Their motto is, "We dig it up, you burn it."

That's as far as they ever wanted to carry it.  

You're saying the egg heads were part of a failed pr thing?  They had more cost effective ways to go about that.

Lol.  This post is all kinds of hilarious.

i can think of quite a few reasons why a heartless corporation would pay for an unfavorable study and then bury it.  I guess that’s why you’re a failed janitor and not a CEO.

Also, for him to shill for them, they'd actually be paying. He does this for free, like a retard.

Lol, packard is so dumb he thinks a corporation is going to do the right thing and sacrifice profits. What a fucking dumbass.

Where did that come from?  I just said they had more cost effective pr moves than paying some tree huggers to write stories.

How about, "Documents obtained by Packard show that Hillary Rodham Clinton has a group of archeologists lost in her left ear and has failed to notify a rescue squad."

 

It makes as much sense as as NPR or WST having copies of Exxon's Documents.

Does that even matter?  Here's the part where you start naming a few, right?

I'm asking because literally all I did was a Google search for you. That is to say I don't know if they are or aren't. I want you to tell me amd you can't because you're too retarded to look at the links yourself. I'm not your mom, I'm not going to coddle you. I've been aware of these scandals for a very long time, well before those pieces were written, so it's up to you to disprove it. Quit whining like a retarded bitch about not liking the source. What does it say? Is it wrong? How do you know?

It’s no less nonsensical the second time.  Try again.

Prove it.

The proof is that Exxon isn't in the business of fiction.  That's Hollywood's department.

 

Their motto is, "We dig it up, you burn it."  That's as far as they ever wanted to carry it and it's been that way ever since Standard Oil was a thing.  It will never change.

Look at what Exxon is doing right now.  Are they paying fiction writers or digging up fossil fuels?  

Now, look up Standard Oil... and Esso.  Were they involved in this conspiracy to destroy the global atmosphere?

 

You keep asking me for "proof", but all I'm getting from you is one solitary article that has been regurgitated by a hundred media outlets and it's all based on here say from some disgruntled former employees with an axe to grind.

Well they’re not paying me so neither.

Do I look like I'm in their board room?  Whatever they're doing is making money for them, not dumping money down an empty hole.

You look like you got kicked out of someone’s tent.  What does cost effective PR look like?
