"Exxon Mobil is a worse environmental villain than other big oil companies. Exxon, headed by Mr. Raymond, chose a different course of action: it decided to fight the science. And that's just what Exxon Mobil has done: lavish grants have supported a sort of alternative intellectual universe of global warming skeptics. The fact is that whatever small chance there was of action to limit global warming became even smaller because ExxonMobil chose to protect its profits by trashing good science."
