Mobil Chairman, President, and CEO, Lucio Noto, releases the company’s brochure on global climate change. Language in the brochure is similar to a November 1997 document prepared by Mobil’s General Manager of Government Relations, Anthony Corso.

The brochure emphasizes that manmade carbon dioxide emissions account for 3% of total carbon dioxide emissions in the atmosphere, and that while Mobil agrees these emissions are a source of concern, “there is still a high level of uncertainty about the timing and magnitude of these potential impacts.” Furthermore, Mobil states there needs to be further research conducted since the climate models provide uncertainty.
