Summary
Three academics from Harvard and University of Potsdamin Germany published a study in the journal Science on Thursday providing evidence that Exxon Mobil, an oil and gas behemoth, predicted global warming with incredible accuracy in series of internal reports and messages starting in 1970s. Exxon Mobil denies its wrongdoing, pointing to a court decision from 2019 that did not find the company guilty of fraud in its climate change accounting. The study found that between 63% and 83% of climate projections Exxon made were accurate in predicting future climate change and global warming.
