"...researchers compared each Exxon climate model to real-world climate records, scoring them from 0 to 100. And they found that, on average, Exxon's predictions were 72 percent accurate! Exxon's best prediction, published in 1985, was 99 percent accurate - more accurate than predictions from the world's top independent and government scientists at that time.

Exxon "instructed their staff to 'emphasize the uncertainty in scientific conclusions regarding the potential enhanced greenhouse effect.'"
