The oil giant ExxonMobil gives money to scores of organisations that claim the science on global warming is inconclusive - which it isn't.

Biofuels and biodevastation - Europe’s thirst for biofuels is fuelling deforestation and food price rises, exacerbated by a false accounting system that awards carbon credits to the carbon profligate nations, says a new report by Dr Mae-Wan Ho published by the Institute for Science in Society.
