John Vidal, the Guardian's environment editor, demonstrates either incompetence or dishonesty today with his comments concerning Exxon's greenhouse gas emissions. Here's what he has to say:So Guardian can't multiply. It makes sense, actually - they all went to Balliol,* after all."But its greenhouse gas emissions in 2003 rose 2%, to 135m tonnes. To put that into perspective, the UK last year emitted some 150m tonnes. Exxon is now as great a carbon polluter as Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand and the Philippines combined - that's about 350 million people."Pretty eye-opening stuff - except that it's not true. *rival college at Oxford to my own (0) opinions -- Add your opinion
