Kinda the Exxon-secret-climate-research-programme nonsense again, a-la http://scienceblogs.com/stoat/2015/09/23/episode-iv-the-evil-empire-strikes-back/, but with a letter from Congress critters thrown in.
This blog consists of comments from my real blog, http://scienceblogs.com/stoat/, which I don't want to publish there. Plus some other stuff convenient to place here. And its becoming a convenient place for me to dump my comments on other blogs so I can find them again.

Ah. You have spotted the bleedin’ obvious that the Congress critters missed.

That is nonsense. Exxon had a research programme, but its was nothing out of the ordinary.
[Response: Are you guys missing the “bleedin’ obvious”? That while their scientists published in peer-reviewed journals, they funded a campaign of denial. Your argument didn’t save the tobacco companies, I doubt it will save ExxonMobil.]
DeleteI rather suspect that replying to that would lead to a round of the arguments that have already been aired on my post; so I won't.
