While the brash brand of direct interference into the public discourse on scientific findings about global warming and associated harmful impacts we saw from Exxon operatives in the 1980s and 1990s has now morphed into a more passive, less - visible form of tampering — such as the company's continued stream of donations (some alleged to be illegal) to groups known for lobbying against and often shooting down federal and state - level proposals to promote renewable energy and limit carbon emissions — perhaps Avery will be able to persuade the new corporate leadership team to stop funding these groups altogether.
