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 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. This suggests 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.
