Green America: Tell ExxonMobil to Invest in Clean Energy Now

ExxonMobil is a leader in producing global warming. They've also been a leader in denying global warming, while making enormous profits (a record-breaking $36 billion in 2005, topping the $26 billion they made in 2004), failing to pay punitive damages for the Valdez disaster, and resisting calls to invest in renewable energy.

Consider the facts:

With their enormous profits clocking in at around $1,150 per second, it's no wonder ExxonMobil continues to smash records almost every quarter. With such massive profits, ExxonMobil should be a leader in developing climate change solutions. Instead, in many ways, it is behind its peers in investing in green technologies.
According to Friends of the Earth, over the past 120 years, ExxonMobil and its predecessor companies are to blame for around five percent of the carbon dioxide emissions that lead to global warming.
A Union of Concerned Scientists report, "Smoke, Mirrors & Hot Air: How ExxonMobil Uses Big Tobacco's Tactics to "Manufacture Uncertainty" on Climate Change", documents how ExxonMobil has used tobacco industry disinformation tactics and even some of the same firms to deny the reality of global warming for years.
ExxonMobil still refuses to pay $4.5 billion it owes in punitive damages to fishermen, natives, and others harmed by the 1989 Exxon Valdez spill.

Years of consumers and investors expressing concern about ExxonMobil's role in producing global warming is having an impact. ExxonMobil recently recognized global warming as a reality and that its potential risks should be addressed. However, this hugely profitable energy giant is not taking steps in the short term to significantly address carbon emissions. Now, the challenge is to get them to move forward quickly on investing in climate change solutions and taking responsibility for their environmental impacts overall.

Join thousands of other concerned consumers nationwide in telling ExxonMobil to use their massive profits to invest in a clean energy future today.

TO: Rex Tillerson, Chairman and CEO

I’m writing to urge ExxonMobil to wake up to global warming and your company’s role in producing it. With global warming we’re facing a serious crisis that is already creating devastating impacts for our planet. ExxonMobil can no longer deny its role in creating global warming.

Now, your company needs to take action to break the addiction to oil, support the regulation of carbon emissions, and use the massive profits you’ve earned from the carbon economy to produce renewable energy solutions instead. ExxonMobil also needs to take responsibility for all the environmental damage it has created, starting by paying the $4.5 billion in punitive damages owed to fishermen, natives and others harmed by the Valdez spill 18 years ago.

As a consumer and investor, I support companies that are working to solve the climate crisis instead of feeding it. It’s time for ExxonMobil to be a leader in creating a clean and responsible energy future that will benefit us all.

Sincerely,
Your Name
Your City and State

Here's who's signed the letter to ExxonMobil and what they're doing to fight global warming.
