A Message From Your Friends At Exxon: We Love Money.


Exxon Mobil has snatched up oil wordsmith Philip Cooney a mere week after resigning from the White House. Philip "oil even tastes good as an ice cream topping" Cooney decided to resign from his position as chief of staff to President Bush's Council on Environmental Quality. Exxon Mobil, the company that brought you drunken oil tanker drivers. Philip Cooney, as bitched about here earlier, the man that brought you edited scientific reports on climate change to lessen the feeling that global warming is real (92 degrees in one part of the country Tuesday, a 25% increase and a first in history). This is ironically the position of Exxon Mobil, the only oil company not investing in any renewable fuel research of any kind "because it is not profitable". They also happen to be the most monetarily valuable U.S. company who also happen to advise the White House on energy policies. Most notably not joining the Kyoto Accord. Philip Cooney and Exxon Mobil together at last. A match made in heaven. The heaven of the unfortunate losers from the thunderdome. This all fits perfectly with Exxon's new PR campaign that states, we are "making the largest ever investment in independent climate and energy research". The key word there is "independent", Exxon has been funding think tanks for years that support their theories when it comes to global climate change.
