Rumour has it that they're also responsible for that clicking sound you sometimes get in your jaw. That, and deliberately standing on snails, barbequing dolphins, and turning beautiful ponies into industrial adhesive.

What Big Oil really funds is Big Oil – and Exxon is betting its money on the reality of AGW. That’s the reason it is investing billions of dollars and trading shares of US oil fields to Russia in exchange for access to the Kara Sea and other Arctic oil reserves.
The deal only makes sense for Exxon if global warming is real and Arctic ice continues to melt. No one has ever accused the people who run Exxon of being stupid. Duplicitous, yes; but, not stupid.
