The British Newspaper, The Guardian reported that a premier scientific academy, the Royal Society informed Exxon/Mobile in a letter to stop supporting dozens of groups that have “misrepresented the science of climate change by outright denial of the evidence”.

The Royal Society claims that Exxon has paid 2.9 million dollars to 39 groups that misrepresents climate change. Exxon does acknowledge that they had received the letter from the Royal Society but disputes the claims of the letter.

ExxonMobil said: “We can confirm that recently we received a letter from the Royal Society on the topic of climate change. Amongst other topics our Tomorrow’s Energy and Corporate Citizenship reports explain our views openly and honestly on climate change. We would refute any suggestion that our reports are inaccurate or misleading.”
