We return to Bob’s Grill this week with a 2015 interview with ExxonMobil’s Richard Keil, the company’s senior adviser for global public affairs. 

Last year, the website InsideClimate News published an investigative series examining ExxonMobil’s rich history of scientific study on fossil fuels and global warming. The series, called “Exxon: The Road Not Taken”, found that the company was at the forefront of climate change research in the 1970s and 80s — before pivoting to funding climate change denial groups in 1989.

At the time, Bob spoke with Richard Keil of Exxon about why the company disputed the reporting, and about the company’s history of funding climate change denial front groups. 

Stay tuned next week for more from the Grill.
