ExxonMobil and the White House

Here's a fun little search you can do on your computer this Friday afternoon.  Our research team has been dilligently tracking the grants made by ExxonMobil and other corporations for years that go to people who say that global warming is a myth.  We call them tobacco scientists as they are just like the people the tobacco companies paid for years to say that smoking wasn't bad for you.  And now you can get the documents our research team has obtained from the White House through FOIA (Freedom of Information Act) showing its links to the oil industry.  We have been making this stuff available to the press for months but now it is all available on the White House web site and just scroll down to CEQ FOIA responses.  Have fun.

Don't buy anything from Kimberly-Clark

Like Scott toilet paper.  Why?  You've seen the campaign that Greenpeace and NRDC are running against Kimberly-Clark in an attempt to get them to stop grinding up the ancient Boreal Forest and coastal temperate rainforests in British Columbia, that's why.  Toilet paper is easily made out of 100 percent recycled content without chlorine bleaching.  But the early responses to our pressure have been about denial.  We found a paper industry trade rag that says they just need to do better marketing.  Tissue World Magazine in case you missed it.

More fun is the bumbling from K-C's headquarters as they have been outed for bragging about their environmentally responsible practices, despite the facts.  Don't believe me.  Check it out yourself from this veteran Fortune Magazine reporter.
