Private Empire: Author Steve Coll on State-Like Powers, Influence of Oil Giant Exxon Mobil
Published on May 4, 2012 Democracy Now!
DemocracyNow.org – We look at one of the largest and most powerful corporations in the world: Exxon Mobil. Last week, the corporate giant reported it earned $9.5 billion in profits in the first three months of this year — or almost $104 million per day. We speak with Pulitzer Prize-winning reporter Steve Coll who pulls back the curtain on Exxon Mobil in his exhaustive new book, “Private Empire: Exxon Mobil and American Power.” “Exxon Mobil really sees itself as an independent sovereign in the world, almost the equivalent of a state,” Coll says. “They really are one of the most closed corporations headquartered in the United States.”

YaleClimateConnections
Published on Dec 8, 2015
Newly released documents show that scientists at Exxon Oil Corporation conducted research on climate change and the greenhouse effect in the late 1970s and early 1980s. Their conclusions were in accord with mainstream scientific groups in academia, NASA, NOAA, and the Department of Energy, showing that global warming posed a serious problem, with potential “catastrophic effects.” Read the documents here: http://insideclimatenews.org/search_d… Read the Inside Climate series here http://insideclimatenews.org/news/150… Read the Los Angeles Times reporting here: http://graphics.latimes.com/exxon-arc… Read the letter from Columbia Journalism School Dean Steve Coll to Exxon: http://www.nytimes.com/interactive/20…

Exxon’s Climate Cover-Up Just Got Bigger: Docs Suggest All Major Oil Giants Have Lied Since 1970s
Published on Dec 31, 2015
Democracy Now!
Democracynow.org – 2015, the hottest on record, was also the year ExxonMobil was caught in a more than three-decade lie. Internal documents revealed Exxon knew that fossil fuels cause global warming in the 1970s, but hid that information from the public. Now it turns out that Exxon isn’t alone. A new exposé from InsideClimate News reveals nearly every major U.S. and multinational oil and gas company was likely aware of the impact of fossil fuels on climate change at the same time as Exxon. We are joined by Neela Banerjee, the InsideClimate News reporter who broke this story.
