Here is text of what oil major CEOs agreed with Pope Francis: “Achieving government policy changes for effective carbon pricing requires transparency,…”. http://fortune.com/2019/06/17/pope-franci-energy-ceos-change-message-climate-change/

Here’s some transparency to start with: their funding through this decade of top climate obstructors NAM and Chamber — the worst two obstructors according to InfluenceMap: https://influencemap.org/report/Trade-Associations-and-their-Climate-Policy-Footprint-067f4e745c9920eb3dfaa5b637511634

Or are these CEOs so morally bereft that they are lying to the Pope? If not, what transparency are these secret funders of climate denial and obstruction talking about?

After evil, confession and atonement precede redemption. Start confessing the secret funding, fellas. Then we can move on through the rest . . .
