Stephen Simon, 2008 “In other words, that we are supporting junk science and trying to make people think that this is not an issue. I think all of us recognize it is an issue. It is how we deal with it—and I think we are dealing with it, and we are doing so in a responsible fashion.“ 2 The Heartland Institute, 2014 “Come to fabulous Las Vegas to meet leading scientists from around the world who question whether “man-made global warming” will be harmful to plants, animals, or human welfare. Learn from top economists and policy experts about the real costs and futility of trying to stop global warming.“ 3 EUROFER’s director general, Gordon Moffat, 2010 “After the Copenhagen failure, the EU would be foolish to again unilaterally increase its GHG objective. (...) Before Copenhagen, the Union affirmatively stated that it would only move to -30% if binding measures would be taken by other countries, comparable to the EU’s -20%. Clearly no other country has followed Europe. It cannot therefore credibly justify a move to -30%.”4 ExxonMobil, Corporate Citizenship Report, 2007
