[[Image:ExxonMobil-ALEC-logo270px.jpg|270|center]]The Center for Media and Democracy, a national watchdog group exposing corporate influence on democracy, has [http://www.prwatch.org/files/11-16-15_cmd_letter_to_ny_ag-final.pdf submitted evidence] to New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman showing how Exxon Mobil has promoted climate change denial through the [http://www.alecexposed.org/ American Legislative Exchange Council] (ALEC). CMD believes this information is relevant to the landmark investigation into whether Exxon Mobil deceived its shareholders and the public about the impact that burning fossil fuels has on climate change.


CMD has identified at least $1,730,200 in funding from Exxon Mobil to ALEC between 1998 and 2014, based on publicly available disclosures, although the actual total is likely higher. CMD has documented Exxon funding for ALEC at least as early as 1981.

Some of the funds were used to bankroll ALEC CARE, the pay-to-play group’s controversial voter management campaign software.


This funding makes Exxon Mobil one of ALEC's biggest financial supporters as ALEC has promoted legislation, resolutions, presentations, and publications seeking to stop efforts to address climate change, and has indoctrinated thousands of state legislators with the idea that "a great deal of scientific uncertainty" surrounds the science of climate change and that carbon emissions "may even be beneficial."
