Exxon Mobil Screwed Up Its Attack On Columbia For Climate Reports
2015-12-02 03:37:49| Oil & Gas - Topix.net
Oil giant Exxon Mobil accused journalists from Columbia University of inaccurate reporting on its approach to climate change -- and crisis management experts say the oil giant made a serious fumble when it suggested its financial partnerships with the school might be at stake because of it. In a letter sent to Columbia President Lee Bollinger and university trustees, dated Nov. 20 and obtained by Politico on Monday, Exxon Mobil's vice president for public and government affairs Kenneth Cohen accused journalists doing a fellowship with the university of ethics violations, including cherry-picking anecdotes and documents to show that the company deliberately misled the public on climate change risks.
