Key takeaways:
- Exxon Mobil’s scientists were able to accurately predict the future of global warming, even as the company publicly denied the reality of climate change.
- The study found that Exxon’s scientists were able to accurately forecast the effects of global warming, such as sea level rise, ocean acidification, and extreme weather events.
- The study’s authors concluded that Exxon was aware of the potential impacts of global warming, and that the company’s public statements were not in line with its own scientific research.
A new study published in the journal Science on Thursday has revealed that Exxon Mobil’s scientists were remarkably accurate in their predictions about global warming, despite the company publicly doubting that warming was real and dismissing climate models’ accuracy.
The study looked at research funded by Exxon that used more than a dozen different computer models to forecast the coming warming with precision equal to or better than government and academic scientists. This was during the same time that the oil giant publicly doubted that warming was real and dismissed climate models’ accuracy.
The study’s authors noted that Exxon’s scientists were able to accurately predict the future of global warming, even as the company publicly denied the reality of climate change. The study also found that Exxon’s scientists were able to accurately forecast the effects of global warming, such as sea level rise, ocean acidification, and extreme weather events.
The findings of the study have implications for how governments, activists, and other stakeholders approach the issue of climate change. It suggests that Exxon’s scientists were aware of the potential impacts of global warming, even as the company publicly denied the reality of climate change.
