Politicians including Bernie Sanders blasted the oil giant's New Year's tweet, accusing the company of fueling a climate crisis that's worsening deadly fires.
Exxon Mobil Australia tweeted a message to “Stay safe and have fun this new year” on Wednesday, prompting international backlash as people pointed out how the oil giant has contributed to the climate crisis exacerbating the deadly wildfires in Australia.
While Exxon Mobil claims to be “at the forefront of climate research” and says it’s “committed” to reducing emissions, the company went to court in New York this year over accusations that it waged a decadeslong campaign of deception against investors and the American public about climate change. Story continuesIn a 2019 report, the University of New South Wales found that out of Australia’s major carbon producers, Exxon Mobil ranked ninth in terms of emissions. The 10 largest Australian “carbon majors” produced the equivalent of about three-quarters of the emissions from global air traffic, or around 28 million flights, the report found.A parody account highlighting the company’s ill-conceived tweet has appeared on Twitter.
