Should we be sceptical of Exxon

The head of Exxon Mobil, Rex Tillerson, has called on the US Government to impose a tax on carbon emissions.

Is this just another ploy to divert attention, would another tax ever get through the US congress, unlikely in this economic climate, therefore by calling for a new tax makes this guy and his company seem like they are being good corporate citizens.

Remember these are the guys that destroyed Prince William sound, these are the guys who are still fighting the environmental groups and the local fishing groups, trying to prevent them receiving compensation.

Sorry, but when a company like Exxon come out wanting to save the environment, given they are the primary cause of the situation we find ourselves in, then I am sceptical, when a company like Exxon spend billions of dollars coming up with bogus science to argue against climate change and now want to be part of the solution, I am sceptical.

Can these companies and people change??
