Please read the article, "Harvard Study Finds Exxon Misled Public about Climate Change" at https://insideclimatenews.org/news/22082017/study-confirms-exxon-misled-public-about-climate-change-authors-say 

After reading, please respond to the following questions: 

• What was the major premise or argument of the article?
• Given that Exxon's core business is the extraction, refinement, and sale of greenhouse-gas-producing petroleum products, do you think that Exxon's CEO did the right thing by publicly denying the science of global warming?
• Should Exxon do anything now to "make up" for their past denial of global warming?  If so, what?
