'incontrovertible' from a draft text. APS members

Flannery and Cohen declined to comment, despite

took an even tougher line against climate science.
Speaking before the World Petroleum Congress in
Beijing in 1997, Raymond mocked climate models in
an effort to stop the imminent adoption of the Kyoto
Protocol, an international accord to reduce
emissions.
"They are notoriously inaccurate," Raymond said.
"1990's models were predicting temperature
increases of two to five degrees Celsius by the year

those numbers. "Last year's models say one to three
degrees. Where to next year?"

ICN staff members Zahra Hirji, Paul Horn, Naveena
Sadasivam, Sabrina Shankman and Alexander Wood

Correction 9/22: An earlier version of this article
misstated the rank of an Exxon official who ordered the
fuel use report written by Steve Knisely, an intern at the
company, in 1979. He was a vice president of Exxon
Research & Engineering, not a senior vice president at
Exxon Corporation.
