Dear Exxon
Fox News
Senators Jay Rockefeller and Olympia Snowe have written a letter urging the Exxon Mobil Corporation to abandon its funding of groups that are skeptical of science blaming global warming on human activity.
The opinion journal characterizes the letter as a "global warming gag order." The senators call Exxon Mobil's support of the Competitive Enterprise Institute and similar groups "information laundering" with an "obfuscation agenda." They compare Exxon's actions to those of the tobacco industry, accusing it of manufacturing controversy, hurting America's credibility and impeding scientific progress.
The senators say Exxon should make up for all of this by investing in what it calls "global remediation efforts."
