Last year, Al Gore released his controversial documentary entitled 'The Inconvenient Truth', a 'global warning' about global warming's impact on the world. This film posed as a major threat to the oil and gas industry who now feels the need to fight back. The man who was once the 'next president of the United States' (think about that) attended a forum in Singapore and utilized the moment to attack Exxon Mobil. Gore stated that the oil giant is funding an organization that publicizes their belief that Earth is not warming. In fact, Al Gore is correct once again. The organization goes by the name: Competitive enterprise Institute (CEI) and they have organized a large campaign to alert the public that the issue of global warming is false. Ironically, Exxon Mobil is a major donor; the company has donated $270,000 in 2004 and over $1.6 Billion since 1998! CEI states that global warming is like claiming an alien invasion. I was extremely angry when I found about this... once again I am let down by a company that I thought was great. Exxon Mobil was always respected on StreetBlabber but with oil companies... its hard to trust them. Its almost expected of Exxon Mobil... but I feel that they should be given the right to fight back. I think that Al Gore should lay back a while and let them try to prove global warming wrong so that he can shut them down with the truth. I think that almost everyone is convinced that the planet is warming and it will be har
d to try and convince us otherwise. Its bad publicity for Exxon to fund them... I think that if Exxon wants to battle Al Gore, why not do it directly? Create your own campaign. In my opinion, when it comes to our planet everyone should cooperate. All business aside... oil companies should stay out or join the movement. Its not impossible. BP, Shell and Chevron have all joined the battle against global warming by taking on several projects that are Eco-friendly. I am a firm believer in protecting our environment and stories like this cause me to be upset... some companies can be really ignorant. Just accept the fact that our world is suffering Exxon!
