In this Our Changing Climate environmental video essay, I look at the social and environmental impacts of ExxonMobil's vast fossil fuel empire. From the Exxon Valdez Oil spill to their pipeline projects in Chad and Cameroon, ExxonMobil has carved a sharp path through communities and through the climate. ExxonMobil is so big that it essentially functions as its own country, able to influence and destabilize whole regions as well as pump millions of tons of fossil fuels into the air. ExxonMobil has also fueled an extensive campaign fighting climate science and climate action. By sponsoring think tanks and climate deniers, ExxonMobil has delayed necessary climate action for decades. Essentially, ExxonMobil is a private sector behemoth capable of destroying the environment and whole countries for decades to come.
