"In 2008, we will discontinue contributions to several public policy research groups whose position on climate change could divert attention from the important discussion on how the world will secure the energy required for economic growth in an environmentally responsible manner."5 ExxonMobil, Report on "Tomorrow's Energy", 2006 "The accumulation of greenhouse gases in the Earth's atmosphere poses risks that may prove significant for society and ecosystems." But on the same page, it said that "gaps in the scientific basis for theoretical climate models and the interplay of significant natural variability make it very difficult to determine objectively the extent to which recent climate change might be the result of human actions."6 Other quotes and figures relevant to climate denialism Laurence Torello, 2014 “If those with a financial or political interest in inaction had funded an organised campaign to discredit the consensus findings of seismology, and for that reason no preparations were made, then many of us would agree that the financiers of the denialist campaign were criminally responsible for the consequences of that campaign. I submit that this is just what is happening with the current, well documented funding of global warming denialism.“7 Total Foundation Funding Distribution – 2003 to 2010, Figure from Brulle, R.J. 2013.8 p. 7                                                                                                                 1 Peabody Energy.
