A 40-year-old ExxonMobil climate projection was shockingly accurate. Francesca Fiorentini, John Iadarola and Maz Jobrani discuss on The Young Turks. Watch TYT LIVE on weekdays 6-8 pm ET. http://youtube.com/theyoungturks/live

“Researchers have exposed galling new details about how ExxonMobil, one of the world’s biggest oil and gas companies, predicted the disastrous effects of climate change driven by the consumption of fossil fuels more than 40 years ago, even as the company’s leadership publicly denied its own internal data, reports a new study.

The authors of the study hope it could bolster efforts to hold bad actors in the oil and gas industry accountable for misleading the public about the dangers of climate change, and squandering precious time in the effort to mitigate its worst consequences.”*
