ExxonMobil Shareholders Rebuff Concerns On Climate Change … by Staff WritersWashington (AFP) May 30, 2007
ExxonMobil shareholders on Wednesday voted strongly against several measures that dissident investors proposed to reform the climate policies of world's largest oil company. A majority of ExxonMobil shareholders defeated resolutions, urging the oil giant to set goals to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions and to boost its use of renewable energy, at ExxonMobil's annual shareholder meeting in Dallas, Texas. Senior executives, including ExxonMobil chairman Rex Tillerson, had urged shareholders to reject the proposals.
Without referring explicitly to global warming or climate change, Tillerson said the jury was still out on the "complex issue of climate science."
"There's much we know and can agree on, and there's much we do not know," ExxonMobil's top executive told shareholders at the meeting, which was carried by Internet.
The votes spelled defeat for a group of large public pension funds holding ExxonMobil shares, including the California Public Employees Retirement System (CalPERS), the biggest US public pension fund, and the New York City Employees' Retirement System, among others.

Surprise, purchased “science” boo$t ExxonMobil bottom line . . . ?

Moreover, ExxonMobil laughs all the way to the bank as “we” – that’s you and me – continue to silently support “big-oil’s” reputed argument surrounding the science about global warming.

What ExxonMobil proves is that “greed” rule$ and continues to drive our American economy at the expense of the collective environment owned by the whole of mankind.

Until “we” – that’s you and me – stop being “ostriches” and stand up and loudly proclaim – NO MORE – “we” will continue along the path defined by “corporate” interests. The choice is solely ours to make – individually.
