Dear Rayne,
For many years their have been scandals and denials; but none of them relate more to how big corporate organizations exploit the public by trying to manipulate the topic of global warming in order to get more clients. The idea of “global warming” being an important topic is used mainly by the larger companies in order to protect their money. Sick, isn’t it? Well that what daddy is doing. I know you must live lavishly have all the luxuries in the world but when your home is six feet under an ocean of water who’s to blame. I know how your father believes recent trends and the ideology of that the weather is forever changing and that humans do not cause global warming; is all a scam. So now, do you still believe his lies? The Exxon Mobile exposure has been one of the biggest failures but it’s alright your father paid scientist to research ideas that have been proven to be factually correct. The tracking of weather patterns, oceanic temperatures, and carbon dioxide emissions have been tracked down through many years of scientific evidence and satellite images according to “Tim Ball”. Since there have been many confrontations, some scientist who believe that global warming is a natural process of the Earth are not really involved with the studies of sciences dealing with global warming shown in Mark Maslin’s “Global Warming A very short introduction” (Maslin 60). Therefore, siding with your father and his ignorant hypothesis (Maslin 60).
I’ll give you another reason on why not to like your father. Companies like your father’s are uniting with others; just like his to increase in their profit, even though it causes harm to the environment. I recall your father is Lee Raymond, the CEO of Exxon Mobile (a prominent oil company) also the biggest company paying for denial advertisements against global warming according to the videos “The Climate Change Denial Industry” http://youtube.com/watch?v=digrkvoa78o and “Global Warming: Junk Science vs. Real Science” http://youtube.com/watch?v=guqahvq1psc&feature=related. The use of modern thermometers and satellites can easily track changes in climate and temperatures according to Al Gore’s documentary, “An Inconvenient Truth, Dir. Davis Guggenheim, Perf. Al Gore, DVD, Paramount, 2005”. Also many ideas vied by Maslin show how some view global warming as an exaggeration because the planet has its own control over weather, but yet it’s only a 20 year period tracked by Maslin (Maslin 62) but yet according to Gore’s evidence which comes from over thousands of years we are to a point which was unexpected do to weather trends. Carbon dioxide is an “amplifier” to the climate (Maslin 60), but yet why is it increased, there has to be a cause. According to the scientists in the IPCC the energy comes from the sun; therefore, having the sun as a number one energy source and supposedly a cause of global warming (Maslin 62-63). Just to let you know because of your fathers insufficient evidence, their aren’t many who will back him up causing his views to become less interesting and put up less of a fight. The main reason for his denial of human cause of global warming is basically to increase his wealth and not care for others outcomes and that could even be daddy’s little girl.
Not to say he’s a bad man, he just makes bad decisions in which show lack of character and care for issues that can be solved different ways; his new idea of energy saving is catching on and is starting to show a care for global warming. The idea of just protecting his own views show a lack of ethics and easily shows why he is choosing to deny the issue of global warming to protect his Co2 emitting oil company running on top.
Sincerely,
Ray Rodriguez
