DescriptionIn January 2023, a group of researchers led by Harvard University revealed that Exxon had been producing “strikingly accurate” internal climate-change forecasts since 1977 while publicly disputing the emerging science. As such, they were aware of the dangers posed by fossil fuels and deliberately chose to do nothing. More than half of the total carbon emissions ever produced by the burning of fossil fuels have been released in the last 30 years. This poster depicts Rex Tillerson, the former CEO of Exxon- Mobil and Secretary of State in the Trump administration, against an apocalyptic backdrop approving the “ironic” message that we are all “in this together.”On View
