Turnbull invests in Exxon Mobil - Tell him to divest

Our Prime Minister Turnbull has investments in Exxon Mobil, arguably the worst climate criminal on the planet. Tell him to divest from these criminals here. All countries welcome.
In 1977, 11 years before James Hansen made climate change a public issue, Exxon conducted the very first research that proved fossil fuels caused global warming. But, instead of telling the world, Exxon poured millions of dollars into misinformation and denial campaigns that have successfully slowed our response to the greatest moral challenge of our time.

In the words of 350.org founder Bill McKibben: 'No corporation has ever done anything this big or bad.’ It is ‘unparalleled evil.’ 

If Exxon had acted otherwise, we might have avoided the enormous suffering that climate change is now inflicting upon thousands of communities worldwide. From the loss of our Pacific Island neighbours’ homes to raging bushfires and devastating storms. From crippling droughts to terrible typhoons and tsunamis that spare no lives. 

These injustices are on Exxon’s watch. But whilst US Senators call for a Federal Investigation into Exxon’s unforgivable behaviour, our Prime Minister is investing his money in them. [3] 350.org
