For many years now, ExxonMobil has held the view that the risks of climate change are serious and do warrant action.

We're only going to invest our shareholders' money where we think they can get the kind of returns they expected when they invested their money with Exxon Mobil.

We can't bankrupt Exxon. But we can politically and morally bankrupt them.

My understanding is that Exxon, in particular, did fund a variety of small think tanks to generate what amounts to propaganda against understanding of what climate change was doing, the human role in causing it.

The disciplined approach to pursuing and selecting the most attractive investment opportunities continues to distinguish ExxonMobil. We are long-term driven, and we're patient. And we're not opportunity-constrained.

Our insatiable appetite for fossil fuels and the corporate mandate to maximize shareholder value encourages drilling without taking into account the costs to the ocean, even without major spills.

Shell and Exxon support export, but refiners like Valero could end up paying more for the crude oil.

There are growing concerns that oil companies are making too much in profits at the expense of consumers.

There are going to be questions about what major oil companies are doing with all of the resources they're accumulating. They can't escape that.
