Reply to comment by Shot-Spray5935 in Exxon accurately predicted global warming from 1970s – but continued to cast doubt on climate science, new report finds by SelectiveSanity

This isn't the own you think it is. The research they did was important to them as an industry & their future as a global player worldwide. It was done for selfish reasons, not altruistic ones. The fact that they came away with good data is just proof they needed to know what was coming for their own survival. AND to discredit it once decades of legit. research on their end confirmed their worst fears,

You are not making the point you think they are. Embarrassing....

So. You seem pretty dense. The difference here is the same idiots who are saying it's not a problem...had the data it was a huge problem. Decades ago.

That's a big fucking deal. Mainly because so many on the right still bury their heads in the sand on this topic. It's still very relevant as a result....

>culturally specific

So... you just believe anything you see on a television commercial, eh? That... and you saw Crocodile Dundee once, no doubt.

Foster's is something like the 20th most popular beer in Australia. It's Australian for "piss water."

Your comment is all kinds of ignorant, if you genuinely care why someone might downvote ya.

You know, I remember the "ethics training" we had to take yearly at my first real job. In one of the yearly training videos they "highlight an example of favouritism" (names changed, of course) in which a manager was so impressed with the landscaping contractor the company hired and wanted to hire them for her property. She was reprimanded when the contractor reported it.

Meanwhile, three years before I'd watched that video, the head of the "Network Design and Implementation" department had the entire department outsourced to a tech company she used to be a higher up at, and still had stock in. She got a promotion.

The kicker? If my father didn't work in that department none of my co-workers would have known. While there was only about 30 of us in that shop, all 30 of us stopped buying hardware from that company out of principle. Doubt we made the tiniest bit of impact on their bottom line, but it was the only course of action we could take because our "Ethics Department" apparently didn't have any ethics and saw "no conflict of interest" or "favouritism" but the lady that wanted to hire a landscaping contractor she knew did good work did.

Gee, I wonder why?
