> WHY EXXONMOBIL?
>
> ExxonMobil is the #1 Global Warming Villain! ExxonMobil has
> intentionally sabotaged action on the greatest environmental
> issue of our
> age, global warming. ExxonMobil's relentless pursuit of new
> oil is resulting
> in the ecological devastation of the world's last remaining
> wild places.
>
> -ExxonMobil funds ultra conservative lobbying and PR
> firms to push their
> views on Congress and the White House. ExxonMobil has spent
> over $41 million
> since 1992 on lobbying efforts to ensure no government action
> is taken to
> stop global warming. Meanwhile, opinion polls show that the
> majority of
> Americans are concerned about global warming and would
> approve of immediate
> action to help prevent the long-term environmental and
> economic impact from
> global warming.
>
> -ExxonMobil refuses to invest any of its $15 billion
> annual profits in
> renewable energy. ExxonMobil has developed fuel cell technology that
> requires gasoline, a non-renewable fossil fuel, which still
> produces large
> amounts of global warming pollution.
>
> - ExxonMobil successfully lobbied the Bush
> Administration to remove the
> leading international global warming scientist from his
> advisory post. Dr.
> Watson was chair of the UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate
> Change and a
> staunch supporter of government action to reduce global
> warming pollution.
> ExxonMobil faxed a memo to the head of the White House Council on
> Environmental Quality calling for Dr. Watson's removal.
> Subsequently, the
> U.S. government successfully lobbied to have Dr. Watson removed.
>
> October 19th is the national day of action. Stay tuned
> for more news
> from Greenpeace in the coming weeks!
