Always interesting to see the reluctance of climate change skeptics to  confront the fact that most of the major oil companies now recognize human-caused climate change and the need to combat it. While there is still controversy about climate modeling, the proper role of the US in "fixing the problem", it is becoming increasingly common for oil companies to support environmental groups. Shell Oil is one such company that provides funding to some regional environmental groups. It must be hard to relinquish outdated partisan positions, especially when the industry itself has moved on.
