Talking About ExxonMobil’s Behaviour on Climate Change

I wanted to publish this little discussion I just had with Peter B. Meyer, Professor Emeritus of Urban Policy and Economics and Director Emeritus of the Center for Environmental Policy and Management (CEPM) at the University of Louisville, who currently resides in the quaint little town of New Hope, PA (pictured), near where I grew up.  He submitted a link to this op-ed in the New York Times on ExxonMobil’s behaviour on climate change, which served as the basis for what I wrote on the subject.

Craig:  Thanks very much for this.

Peter:  Thank YOU…. it’s an important story and I wanted to make sure your readers knew the source.

Craig: Yes, it’s important, to be sure.  BTW, I grew up in the suburbs of Philadelphia, and I used to go to the Cock and Bull restaurant in the early 1970s; which I just learned to my delight is still there!  They didn’t “card” underage drinkers; I used to go up there with my friends and get stewed. (I bet that practice is a thing from the past.)

Peter: I know the Cock and Bull from ages ago. (I taught at Penn State and worked in Philadelphia on utility billing in the 1980s.) Now I’m a southeast PA newbie, after 20 years in Kentucky, returning here in 2011.

Craig:  Welcome back and keep up the good work–and thanks for being a part of what we’re doing here.
