ExxonMobil donated almost $16 million to 43 different foundations that include people who dare to not walk lockstep, unquestioningly, with the scaremongers between 1998 and 2005. In case you are counting, that is an average donation of $46,000 per foundation per year. Please keep in mind that in 2005 ALONE, that very same "evil" ExxonMobil donated $150,000 to Habitat for Humanity, yet I don't hear any of the same kooks calling Jimmy Carter a "shill" to the oil companies.
BUT here's the REAL kicker: the US federal government ALONE funneled over $1.6 BILLION JUST LAST YEAR to various global warming scaremongers. That is ***100 times*** what ExxonMobil spent over an 8 year period.
So tell me, based upon the monetary payoffs, who is the "shill" to whom again?
