ExxonMobil calls for green taxes

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.

Now the boss of Exxon Roy Tillerson has come out and called for a carbon tax. This no doubt reflects the new politics emerging in the US with Obama's Presidency just days away.

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.

350

350 is a US based campaign to get our CO2 emissions to 350 ppm - the level this campaign feels will ensure a sustainable life on earth.

Read thier website - can you disagree?

We are currently at 387ppm - politicians state that 450 ppm will be OK.

Current global economic policies if unchanged will take us to 800ppm.

Irreversible climate change is likely to occur between 35--450-550 ppm.

The precautionary principle? or Russian Roulette? Its up to us.
