ExxonMobil's Climate Problem

ExxonMobil is one of the main contributors to climate change. Despite its public denials that climate change is real or needs to be taken seriously, it has actually known about global warming for some time. Its famous CEO Lee Raymond was famous for denying the reality of climate change and he made it a company policy to go out and lobby hard against any environmental restrictions on its oil operations. By 2005, the year that Lee Raymond stepped down from the leadership, the company itself had begun an strategic review and planning for the future.
