Even the oil companies share the view that global warming is influenced by human action.
"Current forecasts underscore the size of the climate change challenge... Analysis suggests that CO2 emissions could rise by at least 27% by 2030, despite expected tightening in global climate policy. Even assuming that more aggressive policy changes are enacted, carbon emissions are likely to rise by up to 9% by 2030. We support policies that we believe can address climate change while also making it possible for society to meet growing demand for secure and affordable energy. Rising greenhouse-gas emissions pose significant risks to society and ecosystems. Since most of these emissions are energy-related, any integrated approach to meeting the worlds growing energy needs over the coming decades must incorporate strategies to address the risk of climate change. We recognize and share the concerns of governments and the public about climate change. The use of fossil fuels to meet the worlds energy needs is a contributor to an increase in greenhouse gases (GHGs)mainly carbon dioxide (CO2) and methanein the Earths atmosphere. There is a widespread view that this increase is leading to climate change, with adverse effects on the environment." We are also approaching a tipping point where renewables are becoming competitive with fossil fuels.
