Unconventional oil and gas will fry climate: ExxonMobil report
ExxonMobil's influential global energy report, "The Outlook for Energy: A View to 2040", says that new technologies like fracking and tar sands are unlocking a gusher of oil and natural gas.
Our ability to extract new sources of fossilized carbon is growing even faster than we can burn them up. ExxonMobil reports that the amazing surge in "unconventional" sources of oil and natural gas is so great that humanity can continue to burn ever increasing amounts of fossil carbon for well over a century.
And that is exactly what they expect the world will do.
The oil and gas giant expects humanity will meet two-thirds of our increased energy demand by choosing to burn even more oil and gas than we do now.
In contrast, they expect people to choose new renewable energy sources for less than a quarter of our new energy supply.

One might send this to the deniers and ask "Why would an OIL company go along with a so-called conspiracy (Global Warming) that can only hurt their bottom line?"
