The coordinated attack on ExxonMobil - Energy Factor Page 2 of 4<br />

Leading the list of<br />

subjects for<br />

discussionwas this:<br />

'To establish in<br />

public's mind that<br />

Exxon is a corrupt<br />

institution that has<br />

pushed humanity<br />

(and all creation)<br />

toward climate<br />

chaos and grave<br />

harm."<br />

In taking aim at our corporation, these activists and trial lawyers are attacking nearly<br />

75,000 dedicated men and women who work to provide the sources of energy that are<br />

vital to a functioning economy. And they are taking aim at the millions of shareholders<br />

who own ExxonMobil stock.<br />

Ultimately, however, the effort to demonize ExxonMobil distracts from what is truly<br />

important - providing the energy supplies to power the future while coming up with<br />

technological solutions that address the risks posed by climate change.<br />

There's a meaningful dialogue to be had on climate change, one that focuses on<br />

collaborative actions and the search for solutions. We have been in that conversation for<br />

several decades. Our critics, on the other hand, want no part of that discussion. Rather,<br />

they seek to stifle free speech and limit scientific inquiry while painting a false picture of<br />

ExxonMobil,<br />

if they were truly interested in finding realistic answers to the dual challenge of providing<br />

energy needed for modern life and protecting the environment, they would welcome<br />

debate and open discussion. They would not be trying to exclude and silence the<br />

innovation, creativity, and brilliant ideas that thousands of scientists at ExxonMobil and<br />

other energy companies have to offer.<br />
