Get the full thread on @sharonkelly.bsky.social's reporting on ExxonMobil's history of avoiding climate accountability with industry docs dating back to the '60s and the context behind the oil major's backing of Carbon Measures from the editor who worked with her on the story 👇
Now ExxonMobil has joined the Carbon Measures coalition in an effort to reshape global climate accounting standards. The coalition says they "are focused on reducing the carbon intensity of the products responsible for the majority of global emissions."
