Scientists have been talking for decades about the potential for human activities to create a warmer world.

Yet, in recent years, the scientific evidence for global warming has seemed controversial. Here’s climate scientist Michael Mann at Penn State University.

There are a number of so-called organizations. A lot of them, their funding can be traced back to the same fossil fuel（化石燃料） corporations. And these quote-unquote（引用） organizations, they’re often not much more than a P.O. box（邮箱） and an individual or two who are behind them.

Mann calls this “disinformation（错误信息）” – and he said he believes the disinformation trend about global warming is ending.

I’m pleased and many of us are pleased to see that Exxon Mobil （埃克森美孚） has announced that they are no longer going to provide funding for many of these organizations – and this was actually detailed in an extensive report by the Union of Concerned Scientists（美国忧思科学家联合会）. So we shouldn’t be surprised that there’ll be some talking heads out there. We’re going to see some of that. There’s no question. And it’s important for us to keep in mind that we’re probably seeing the last gasps of this disinformation effort that I think is probably in it’s tail end（终了） now that the science just has become ever more strong as time has gone on.
