26 1982—Internal Exxon Memo acknowledges the scientific consensus around climate impacts of rising CO2 and states that Exxon’s own research agrees with this consensus. In an internal company memorandum dated September, 1982, Roger Cohen, Director of Exxon’s Theoretical and Mathematical Sciences Laboratory acknowledges the “clear scientific consensus” that a doubling of atmospheric CO2 from pre-industrial levels would raise global temperatures by approximately 3 degrees Celsius. (Annex E hereto.) He further acknowledges the “unanimous agreement in the scientific community” that an increase of this size would cause significant changes to the climate, to rainfall patterns and to the biosphere. (Fig. 9) Fig. 9. Significantly, Cohen further acknowledges that Exxon’s own research is in accord with this scientific consensus on the climate effects of increased CO2. (Fig. 10) Fig. 10 1986-1988—Documents from Both Exxon and Shell demonstrate that by the mid-1980s, oil companies considered climate risks sufficiently serious to take them into account in their own infrastructure investments. In a document reported on by the Los Angeles Times in 2015, Ken Croasdale, the lead ice researcher for Imperial Oil, ExxonMobil’s Canadian Subsidiary, acknowledged that the company needed to consider the potential impacts of climate change on any new long-lived infrastructure investments, particularly in the far north and offshore environments. Significantly, in undertaking their planning and modeling work for Exxon, Croasdale and his team employed the
