October 15, 2015 Bill McKibben, www.theguardian.com Educate! Climate Change, Exxon, Oil & Gas

But before we get to past and present there’s some past to be reckoned with, and before we get to hope there’s some deep, blood-red anger. In the last three weeks, two separate teams of journalists — the Pulitzer-prize winning reporters at the website Inside Climate News and another crew composed of Los Angeles Times veterans and up-and-comers at the Columbia Journalism School — have begun publishing the results of a pair of independent investigations into ExxonMobil.

So even small leaks in the natural gas production and delivery system can have a large climate impact."
