This message was posted yesterday on the Greenpeace USA website in response to Greenpeace's invasion of the ExxonMobil HQ in Dallas, Texas.

"I work for Exxon, and while I don't like your tactics, your message ought to be heard. There are many of us working for this company who believe that current management is making a mistake by ignoring or, worse, challenging the science on climate change.

It's a public relations mistake, and a market positioning mistake, that other oil companies have been quicker to avoid.

Oil isn't going to go away tomorrow. But then, neither is global warming, and we ought to stop pretending it will.

I'd prefer to work for a company that took that problem seriously, and did more to look after my children's future."
