Fight Esso's censorship

Esso succeeded in having a parody logo banned from the Internet in France, but Esso can not hide their own crimes against the climate. The censored site has been moved to oil country and Esso’s own backyard.

Climate criminals lurking at India talks

They're back! Last year the Bush-led US government walked away from the Kyoto Protocol. As a result, it took heroic efforts by other countries to salvage this world-wide effort to address climate change. But after their dramatic exit from the Protocol, what are the Americans doing in New Delhi now as negotiations continue?

Oil giant tries again to silence protests

Oil giant Esso is attempting to sue Greenpeace for more than 225,000 Euros over a peaceful protest against Esso's continuing sabotage of international efforts to protect the climate.

Busting Exxon: climate criminal #1

How come we're the ones being arrested and not Exxon/Mobil executives? All we did was disrupt preparations for their annual general meeting, where they'll conduct business as usual. The real crime? Business as usual for ExxonMobil is frying the planet.

Pay up, Exxon

When the Exxon Valdez ran aground in 1989, it was said that lawyers not yet born would argue the case. Those lawyers are 15-year-olds today. We'll make another prediction: lawyers not yet born will be taking Exxon to court again in the future. The charge will be negligent asphyxiation of our planet.

Exxon is wanted for outrageous crimes against the planet

Lee Raymond and Exxon are the Godfathers of corporate environmental crime. They have built up an unfathomable empire at the cost of our environment. They influence governments to get their own way, leaving the charred remains of international treaties in their wake. Their head honcho Raymond knows no bounds that money can’t remove.

Polar bears dream of a white Christmas

An Arctic without ice. Polar bears extinct in the wild. Mass starvation of reindeer. And as a result of their snowy world melting, the possibility of a global sea-level rise of devastating proportions. It's the worst disaster film you've ever seen. Made real.
