The Exxon memos are internal memos from the 70s and 80s from scientists hired by the company itself. It was not public information. In fact, in response to the memos, Exxon began a disinformation campaign, spending millions of dollars to undermine in the public sphere the findings of the very research it funded, because they understood it was a threat to their business model.

So you're right, but not in the way you intended: I do not trust the big energy companies, because they've been actively lying to us for years--lies which have been very effective considering so many people, such as you, have believed them, even when the company itself did not. I do, however, trust the internal memos of their own scientists that were never meant to be seen by the public.
