I suppose because the US government has spent close to $80 BILLION pushing the climate scare.

The article assumes that the oil companies reject carbon cap and trade, when in fact they hope to profit from it. Shell, British Petroleum, Royal Dutch Shell support cap and trade whereas Exxon prefers a carbon tax.

The conference is window dressing for the masses who think oil companies will be harmed by the scam. Actually, they will profit greatly.

Oil Companies Support Global Warming Alarmists, Not Skeptics

The only disagreement between Al Gore and Exxon Mobil is who gets to sink the teeth in first


A common charge leveled against global warming skeptics is that they are on the payroll of transnational oil companies, when in fact the opposite is true, oil companies are amongst the biggest promoters of climate change propaganda, emphasized recently by Exxon Mobil’s call for a global carbon tax.

According to Exxon Mobil chief executive Rex Tillerson, the cap and trade nightmare being primed for passage in the Senate doesn’t go far enough – Tillerson wants a direct tax on carbon dioxide emissions, essentially a tax on breathing since we all exhale this life-giving gas.

In a speech last month, Tillerson brazenly called out the cap and trade agenda for what it was, an effort to impose a carbon tax camouflaged only by a slick sales pitch and deceptive rhetoric.

“It is easier and more politically expedient to support a cap-and-trade approach, because the public will never figure out where it is hitting them,” said Tillerson. “They will just know they hurt somewhere in their pocketbook,” he added, pointing out that he disagreed with this convoluted method of introducing a carbon tax, arguing instead that it would be more successful to openly propose a straight carbon tax.

Tillerson firmly expressed Exxon’s support for climate change alarmists in stating, “I firmly believe it is not too late for Congress to consider a carbon tax as the better policy approach for addressing the risks of climate change.”

Exxon’s push for a carbon tax was restated last week by its vice president for public affairs Ken Cohen, who told a conference call that he wants a climate policy that creates “certainty and predictability, which is why we advocate a carbon tax.”

Exxon Mobil and their ilk are not concerned about a carbon tax eating into their profits because they know they won’t have to pay it – the tab will be picked up by the ignorant taxpayer at the fuel pump at an inflated cost which if anything will hand the transnational oil cartels an even bigger cut.

Ideologically, Al Gore and Exxon Mobil are on exactly the same page – the only difference between the oil companies and global warming alarmists is the squabble over who will get to sink their teeth into the taxpayer and reap the dividends of the climate change scam.

Oil Companies Support Global Warming Alarmists, Not Skeptics FOTR 340x1692

Whereas parasites like Al Gore and Maurice Strong, the people who own the very carbon trading systems they claim will save the earth from CO2 emissions, want to enrich themselves to the tune of billions under a cap and trade scheme where they take a percentage of each transaction, the oil companies want to bypass this completely by simply imposing a direct CO2 tax. The consequence for the taxpayer under either scenario will be exactly the same, and the profits under both schemes would go towards filling the coffers of the global government that will enforce the whole scam.

Emphasizing again that oil companies are firmly behind the idea of man-made climate change and the introduction of a CO2 tax, in 2007 the Trilateral Commission, one of the three pillars of the new world order in alliance with Bilderberg and the CFR, met in near secrecy to formulate policy on how best they could exploit global warming fearmongering to ratchet up taxes and control over how westerners live their lives.

At the confab, European Chairman of the Trilateral Commission, Bilderberger and chairman of British Petroleum Peter Sutherland, gave a speech to his elitist cohorts in which he issued a “Universal battle cry arose for the world to address “global warming” with a single voice.”

Echoing this sentiment was General Lord Guthrie, director of N.M. Rothschild & Sons, member of the House of Lords and former chief of the Defense Staff in London, who urged the Trilateral power-brokers to “Address the global climate crisis with a single voice, and impose rules that apply worldwide.” Rules that no doubt will benefit the Rothschild family empire due to their personal ownership of a huge chunk of the carbon trading market.

Allegations that skeptics of the man-made explanation behind global warming are somehow doing the bidding of the elite are laughable in the face of the fact that Rothschild operatives and the very chairman of British Petroleum are the ones orchestrating an elitist plan to exploit global warming fears in order to achieve political objectives.

During the 2007 meeting, elitists along with oil industry kingpins called for imposing a $1 dollar per gallon tax at the fuel pump under the justification of fighting pollution and climate change.

Globalists love global warming. Oil industry kingpins, Bilderbergers and Rothschild minions have all put their weight behind it. This is a fraud conceived, nurtured and promulgated by elite, and to castigate individuals for merely questioning the motives behind climate change fearmongering by accusing them of being mouthpieces for the establishment is a complete reversal of the truth."

I just checked the reference. This is another insane rant from one of Alex Jones' websites. You know, the Prison Planet guy? He seems to be making multiple websites (prisonplanet.com, inforwars.com, and now truthnews.com) to engage in a form of sockpuppetry. One "news" website is not enough for that lying loon's egomania?

How can companies that produce so much greenhouse gas through the use of their products profit from BUYING carbon credits? That would be like claiming that I would make a lot of money from BUYING groceries, or any other item. No, that is absurd. When you buy anything, you would be SPENDING money, not earning it. The only way Exxon and other fossil fuel companies can avoid losing their profits via cap-and-trade, a carbon tax, or anything else that limits greenhouse gas emissions, is to diversify their works to include renewable and non-polluting energy sources and gradually switch over to them completely. Personally, I would love for Exxon to start building tens of thousands of windmills and solar panels and then STOP being an oil company! The sooner we free ourselves from the addiction to fossil fuels, the better we ALL will be. It should have been done decades ago. We keep sending so much of our money to the Middle East for its oil, money we could have kept here TO BUILD THOSE HYDROELECTIC DAMS, WINDMILLS AND SOLAR PANELS EVERYWHERE! We had the technology to do it decades ago and thanks to right-wing idiots in our government and the corporate executives obsessed with short-term profits for themselves as opposed to long term benefits for the most people, we didn't!

Cap and trade has indeed worked before, with little or no damage to economies. It was used to stop acid rain and to limit the emission of CFCs, which were harming the ozone layer. We can now use it to get us off fossil fuels. The sooner we start, the better off we will be. It's a huge challenge, but that's exactly why we should get on with it!
