Remember tobacco industry CEOs testifying at a congressional hearing back in April of 1994? They went down the line, one by one, saying, "... Nicotine is not addictive." Three years later, the game was over, as reported in the mainstream press. They essentially dropped their entire pretense and admitted exactly that.
Now it's Big Oil's turn.
After years, Exxon Mobil is now being accused of using the exact same tactics as big tobacco did decades ago. They paid for scientists to tell their story (that climate change was not real), then built and funded an entire sub industry around them to push their agenda, as discussed on On Point Radio this morning.
Look for a lot more coverage in the main stream press about this. Yes, some people say it's too late (we've already passed the tipping point of greenhouse gasses in the atmosphere), but others (including me) say, "Better late than never!"
