"Assessing ExxonMobil’s global warming projections"
| quote | | Climate projections by the fossil fuel industry have never been assessed. On the basis of company records, we quantitatively evaluated all available global warming projections documented by—and in many cases modeled by—Exxon and ExxonMobil Corp scientists between 1977 and 2003. We find that most of their projections accurately forecast warming that is consistent with subsequent observations. Their projections were also consistent with, and at least as skillful as, those of independent academic and government models. Exxon and ExxonMobil Corp also correctly rejected the prospect of a coming ice age, accurately predicted when human-caused global warming would first be detected, and reasonably estimated the “carbon budget” for holding warming below 2°C. On each of these points, however, the company’s public statements about climate science contradicted its own scientific data. |

Nothing says "ExxonMobil" like a sign that says "ExxonMobil"[This message has been edited by rinselberg (edited 01-13-2023).]

Just for the record, on Thursday I scrolled through an article that was a "no holds barred" and very negative assessment of the worth of this "ExxonMobil knew" line of investigation: an article that argued that these investigations into what ExxonMobil had discovered, decades ago, about global warming, are totally biased, without objectivity and completely worthless.
I'd post it, except I can't remember where it was or find it again.[This message has been edited by rinselberg (edited 01-13-2023).]

Exxon/mobil (and other Oil co.) all tell us there is "No such thing as Climate change"....Oh, wait they now have changed their line to "There is Climate change, but we didn't do it!!!"
Why in the world would you not trust the Oil companies? Do you really think they would allow the world climate to be wrecked for their own profit? How could you think that large mega-corporations would look only at profits and nothing else!
Next, you will tell me that the Oil companies demanded the overthrow of a middle-east government so they could create more profits...No way would they do such things- that would be immoral.....

Release of U.S. government records and official acknowledgement
In August 2013, on the 60th anniversary of the coup, the US government released documents showing they were involved in staging the coup. The documents also describe the motivations behind the coup and the strategies used to stage it. The UK had sought to censor information regarding its role in the coup; a significant number of documents about the coup remained classified. The release of the declassified documents, which marked the first US official acknowledgement of its role, was seen as a goodwill gesture on the part of the Obama administration. According to Aljazeera, the deputy director of the National Security Archive, Malcolm Bryne, disclosed that the CIA documented the secret histories purposely for official use.
In June 2017, the United States State Department's Office of the Historian released its revised historical account of the event. The volume of historical records "focuses on the evolution of U.S. thinking on Iran as well as the U.S. Government covert operation that resulted in Mosadeq's overthrow on 19 August 1953". Though some of the relevant records were destroyed long ago, the release contains a collection of roughly 1,000 pages, only a small number of which remain classified. One revelation is that the CIA "attempted to call off the failing coup but was salvaged by an insubordinate spy". The reports released by the U.S. had reached 1,007 pages, consisting of diplomatic cables and letters according to VOA News.
