ExxonMobil Gave Millions to Climate-Denying Lawmakers Despite Pledge

Description

The Guardian has learned ExxonMobil gave more than $2.3m to members of Congress and a corporate lobbying group that deny climate change and block efforts to fight climate change – eight years after pledging to stop its funding of climate denial. Climate denial – from Republicans in Congress and lobby groups operating at the state level - is seen as a major obstacle to US and global efforts to fight climate change, closing off the possibility of federal and state regulations cutting greenhouse gas emissions and the ability to plan for a future of sea-level rise and extreme weather.
