ONCE UPON A time, climate science and politics were separate things. Then came several decades of scientific denial, distortion, and gaslighting. One of the companies responsible for politicizing climate change is ExxonMobil, which for years funded climate change denial groups despite its own research confirming that greenhouse gases cause global warming. Now, the battle to hold them accountable has become a proxy war between a lead denier in the US House of Representatives and groups that are working to make Exxon legally responsible for its actions.
The House Science Committee is dragging out the spurious narrative that science isn’t in consensus about climate change, its causes, and effects. The post House Republicans Are Trying to Blackball the Climate Investigation into Exxon appeared first on WIRED.
