No hidden agenda then ?

I agree with the aims.
One problem is that getting new nuclear on line isn't going to be quick. Probably a decade or so at best. In the meantime, to meet demand, we will have to continue to import coal and gas.

In monosyllables then
You are saying that Exxon are giving money to posters to attack the IPCC stance i.e. Bribery

Is that clear enough

When you asked if there was a hidden agenda - I thought you might be referring to the purpose of the poll and I was having difficulty making a connection.

No I am not seriously suggesting that anyone is taking bribes from Exxon - that would be incredible. However, I do also find it incredible that anyone can continue to maintain that mankind activities is not effecting the climate. This, particularly now [after the report in yesterday's Daily Mail] that the US Government [practically the last bastion for the denyers] has admitted that climate change has been caused by the burning of fossil fuel.

Mind you, not so comforting when they also say that things are now so far gone that it is not worth taking any preventative action. Beautiful!
