ExxonMobil is the world's largest oil company and for years it has downplayed the role that fossils fuels have played in affecting the climate. Indeed the company has funded many organisation involved in global warming denial.

Others have suggested that asking for a carbon tax is less damaging to the oil industry than carbon caps which form the European 'cap and trade' schemes.
