I'm not an Exxon employee or anything similar. I'll play devils/exxon advocate. I expect I'll be voted down because no one is allowed to ever question climate change. Global warming was the old name; they changed it to climate change because that is happening. You cant deny climate change. Here's why: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geologic_temperature_record#/media/File:All_palaeotemps.svg https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geologic_temperature_record#/m... The climate clearly changes; back about 50 million years ago the world was 14 celcius warmer. It was fantastic on earth. Northern Canada/Russia is currently a unlivable wasteland; even trees can't grow up there but back then they sure did. Life thrived across the world. Overall all of science's predictions is that the warmer periods in those graphs were fantastic for life on Earth. For the last 50 million years the earth has drastically cooled down. This is why the name Global Warming has been ditched, because it's fundamentally wrong. Let's focus on the last 130,000 years. During the Eemian period the world was 3 celcius warmer than today. Then over the last 110,000 years it has cooled 8 celcius on average. The last glacial maximum being 20,000 years ago was the coldest Earth has been in a long time. Over the next 10,000 years up until the holocene period the earth warmed up 6 celcius. For an unknown reason over the last 10,000 years temperatures have been very uncharacterically stable. What you are seeing is the interglacial periods. What happens is the Earth gets very warm quickly, and then cools down slowly hitting a minimum and then spikes back up like the Eemian period. We should be spiking in temperature right now, but it's not. You then look at those predictions on the right hand side. The 2050 and 2100 year predictions but those are IPCC AR5 RCP8.5 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Representative_Concentration_Pathway https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Representative_Concentration_P... RCP8.5 is the prediction that over the next period of time that emissions INCREASE. This even at the time of publication in 2014 was thought to be quite untrue. It's expecting that we significantly discover much more coal and oil over the next century. The reality is that oil, coal, and gas run out sooner. We also have more data, RCP8.5 is absolutely not happening. They have since created RCP7 as the baseline but even that is not accurate. In fact RCP6 is not even legitimate. RCP4.5 is what is happening. If you overlay RCP4.5 onto that graph, it makes for a quite boring graph because it barely registers and looks pretty flat just like most of the holocene. That's us basically doing nothing. What's even more concerning is that we should expect a huge spike in temperature. Not human caused, but all part of the interglacial period system. The problem is that environmentalists are trying to blame humans for what is likely coming without our involvement. They wish to control our economic policies. That's all that is happening.
