Handwriting In The Cave?

Tillerson Caves In Global Warming Debate

Plausibly in search of a cheaper way to pay government protection money, Exxon's CEO Rex Tillerson is calling for a carbon tax to help fight the looming menace of man-made global warming. This according to reports in Investor's Business Daily and the WSJ.

Presumably a carbon-tax would hit Exxon's bottom-line less drastically and with less government control than the Obama-favored cap-and-trade approach.

As Exxon's CEO what is Tillerson to do? Apparently he believes he's seen the handwriting on the wall. Power defines truth, in this case the power held by President-elect Obama, Democrat congressional control, and the coterie of leftists and eco-activists steering Democrat majorities and mainstream media propaganda.

Man-made global warming is a convenient, indeed ideal notion to justify socialism and expand the Democrat Party's permanent griplock on American society.

So however much the earth has not been warming recently – maybe indeed the opposite, however much there is lacking any substantive scientific proof that humans have altered the climate or could even do so, it matters not.

Meanwhile Tillerson as all CEOs is obliged to serve his company's bottom-line, even if truth must suffer for it.

I sent the following comment to Exxon at:

"There is no substantive scientific evidence for man-made global warming [http://www.drroyspencer.com/ ]. Nor has anyone shown what the earth's ideal temperature might be or that warming would on balance harm either humanity or the ecosystem.

Yet, according to a Jan 10, 2009 WSJ article, Rex Tillerson is caving in to the man-made global warming hoax and calling for a carbon tax on consumers.  Why?  Does he fear that a cap-and-trade regimen would damage Exxon's bottom line even more?

One wonders whether there are CEOs and major US corporations left that have the spine to stand up for the truth, or at least against the lack of it and the political forces that monger and benefit from the man-made global warming fraud.

Apparently Mr. Tillerson and Exxon are not among them."
