Exxon folds to political intimidation

Two liberal senators threatened Exxon Mobil with political retribution if the company continued to provide funding to any scientists whose research questioned the global warming advocacy of environmentalists. CNBC just had a story where the company has announced that it is cutting off all such funding. CNBC doesn't point out the political threats by liberal Democrats. In fact, CNBC's entire thrust is that global warming due to greenhouse gases is a well-established fact.
