Letter: The CO2 menace
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.I am amazed that anyone should try to defend ExxonMobil's record on climate change, let alone a representative of the company (Letters, 30 January). Exxon was a prime mover behind the Carbon Coalition, an industry-sponsored lobby group whose purpose was to challenge any legislation to mitigate climate change during Clinton's presidency. Exxon has donated more than pounds 8m to organisations that promote the view that global warming is not a man-made problem. Exxon is a disgrace to the Western world and a menace to future generations.
