activities have already impacted climate are currently unjustified.” But that improved models could make an assessment of human impacts on the climate possible. The memo states repeatedly that the computational speed and power of supercomputers is one of the key barriers to better modeling. The unreleased ‘draft’ shows key content that was not included in the final draft, including rebuttals of key “contrarian” arguments one by one, declaring that while they raise interesting questions, they “do not offer convincing arguments against the conventional model of greenhouse gas emission induced climate change.” Simultaneously, and subsequently the oil industry funded the same discredited “contrarian” now known as “denier” scientists to apply counterpressure on the policy dialogue. c. Bush State Department briefings on meetings with Global Climate Coalition, ExxonMobil8 A series of internal State Department briefings revealed a through Freedom of Information Act request by Greenpeace. The briefing memorandum before the June 21, 2001 meeting with the GCC states that President Bush, the “POTUS rejected Kyoto, in part, based on input from you.” And also that “GCC members are completely supportive of the Administration’s position on climate change and the rejection of the Kyoto Protocol.” d. Exxon documents doubting science9 Shown are a few of many documents publicly distributed by Exxon in the mid 1990s that cast doubt on climate science, and claim economic harm will be caused by policy solutions e. 1996 Exxon presentation on health effects of climate change10 This September 1996 presentation titled “Purported Impact of Climate Change on Human Health” was presented or distributed to the Global Climate Coalition by D.J. Devlin, a scientist from Exxon Biomedical Services, Inc. One slide says that “International attention focused on relationships among greenhouse gases, climate change, ecological stress and human health” have been raised by reports by the National Academy of Sciences, the IPCC, in medical journals and among “popular press”. Devlin lays out the emerging consensus around the health impacts from climate change as “The Hypothesis” and lists three slides of impacts driven by increasing climate change due to fossil fuel use. These include direct and indirect impacts including “death due to weather related disasters”. 8Ken Brill, United States Department of State, “Your Meeting with members of the Global Climate Coalition,” Jun. 20, 2001 (available at http://www.climatefiles.com/denial-groups/global-climatecoalition-collection/2001-state-department-meeting-global-climate-coalition/). 9Lee Raymond and Jonathan Adler, Exxon Corporation, “Global Warming: who’s right?
