"Unprecedented: 10th Consecutive Hottest Month on Record Baffles Climate Scientists"

March 2023 marked the tenth consecutive month of record-breaking global temperatures, with a 1.68C increase from pre-industrial levels. Climate scientists are concerned about the possibility of accelerated warming, as the current trend exceeds the 1.5C benchmark set in the Paris climate agreement.

Exposing ExxonMobil's Climate Science Manipulation

Newly revealed documents obtained by the Wall Street Journal show that ExxonMobil executives continued to undermine climate science privately, even after publicly acknowledging the link between fossil fuel emissions and climate change. The documents, subpoenaed by New York's attorney general as part of an investigation, date back to the tenure of former CEO Rex Tillerson and reveal a decades-long misinformation campaign by Exxon. Despite publicly accepting the risks of the climate crisis and supporting the Paris agreement, the company privately supported climate-denier groups and expressed doubt about scientific warnings. The documents could strengthen legal efforts to hold oil companies accountable for their alleged attempts to sow doubt about climate science.
