2018 – In Court… Under Oath….
A replay of the Tobacco Companies techniques to convince people that tobacco doesn’t cause cancer…
~
The plaintiffs are the coastal cities of San Francisco and Oakland.
They’re suing five major oil companies (Chevron, ExxonMobil, Shell, ConocoPhillips and BP) to pay for the cities’ costs to cope with the sea level rise caused by global warming.
Chevron’s lawyer presented the science for the defense, and most notably, began by explicitly accepting the expert consensus on human-caused global warming, saying:
“From Chevron’s perspective, there is no debate about the science of climate change.”
(Yep, burning oil / coal causes climate change to speed up drastically.)

The judge mandated that those submitting briefs detail their funding sources, and they listed a litany of oil companies and fossil fuel-funded think tanks. Among those listed by Monckton and Soon’s group were ExxonMobil, the Heartland Institute, and the Charles G. Koch Foundation.
Among those listed by Happer, Koonin, and Lindzen were the Heritage Foundation, Peabody Coal, the Cato Institute, and the Texas Public Policy Foundation.
It’s a perfect example of the oil industry’s two-faced behavior.
For decades their own scientists quietly published peer-reviewed research concluding that humans are causing global warming.
That was the face we saw from Chevron’s lawyer.
But at the same time, oil companies were funding contrarian scientists and think tanks to spread denial and doubt about that same science.
That was the face revealed in the denier briefs.
Although they accept the expert climate consensus, the oil companies obviously don’t want to be held liable for the costs of the climate damages their products cause.

In court, Big Oil rejected climate denial
If even oil companies accept human-caused global warming, why doesn’t everybody?
