The question of climate change largely remains, frustratingly, an exercise of ideology and narrow self-interest vs. scientific consensus. Talking points vs. talking sense. However, now add the comments of Exxon Mobil Vice President Ken Cohen to the mix. It could help.
“Exxon Mobil recognizes that climate risks are real and responsible actions are warranted,” recently acknowledged Cohen. No, he wouldn’t have said it had EM not been in cover-your-ass litigation mode over lying about climate-change risks. But he still said it. And we’ll be seeing it referenced again. And again.
