19 corroborate existing findings. It is the overwhelming consensus of experts studying the history of fossil fuel interests – such as investigative journalists, historians of science, and social scientists – that fossil fuel companies and trade associations, including ExxonMobil, have variously orchestrated, funded, and perpetuated direct and indirect climate change misinformation (see, for example, [1,3,4,44–53,70]). The historical evidence is incontrovertible, and to my knowledge has never been challenged by ExxonMobil. As journalistic and academic research continues to reveal, there is also substantial evidence that many of these companies and trade associations – including ExxonMobil, Shell, the Global Climate Coalition, and the American Petroleum Institute – have variously known about the basics of climate science and its implications for decades [3,4,47,48,69,71–74]. Put together, the evidence points to a singular conclusion: fossil fuel companies and trade associations, including ExxonMobil, have variously promoted disinformation about climate change so as to stifle action by misleading the public and policymakers. As with the science of climate change itself, the burden of proof rests with ExxonMobil and other fossil fuel interests to disprove all supporting evidence and lines of reasoning. (3) ExxonMobil continues to promote climate change misinformation. Based on non-peer-reviewed research published by my colleagues and I, it is my opinion that while ExxonMobil does today acknowledge the reality of anthropogenic climate change in its public statements, it also continues to support and perpetuate climate science misinformation through a variety of increasingly veiled initiatives [1]. A spectrum of evidence supports this conclusion, including: distribution of scientifically false or misleading information by ExxonMobil itself; membership in and/or financial support of climate-denying organizations; donations to climate-denying politicians; and ExxonMobil’s track record of past climate denial.
