Exxon Secrets and Greenpeace

Along those same lines is Exxonsecrets.org, created by Greenpeace. The site claims that most of the vast right wing conspiracy is funded by Exxon. Which, so the theory goes, is the reason why the poor Greens just can’t get any respect or traction for their dire warnings that Global Warming is about to destroy the Earth. And so, they claim, as the Earthen pot boils, Exxon funds the “deniers” so it can continue to make obscene profits.

According to the site, Exxon is supposed to have accomplished this feat by funneling $22,123,436 to more than 100 groups since 1998. That would average out to about 1,474, 895 per year, meaning each group would receive about $14,700 per year. Now the real mystery is how that tiny amount could influence anything. But the site presses on, including an elaborate mapping system designed like a spider web to show the direct ties between all of the right wing groups, their leaders, their funding and their ties to Exxon. Amazing stuff. Even more amazing is how utterly inaccurate are the charges from such sources.
