The 2015 agreement is "an effective framework for addressing the risks of climate change," an ExxonMobil executive wrote last week (paywall) in a letter the White House. Even as President Trump dismantled Obama-era efforts to tackle climate change, the U.S.'s largest oil company is trying to save the crown jewel of that initiative: the landmark 2015 global climate deal. As CEO of Exxon, now-Secretary of State Rex Tillerson, acknowledged the risk of climate change and even endorsed a tax on carbon (see, "Could Trump be getting ready to pull a Nixon-to-China on carbon?"). Tillerson and Defense Secretary James Mattis both reportedly favor the Paris accord. Other Republican climate realists, including former Secretary of State James Baker, former Secretary of State George Shultz and former Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson, are pushing for a $40 per ton tax on carbon.

Exxon Mobil urges Trump to stay in Paris climate accord
Washington, Mar 29 Energy giant Exxon Mobil has asked the Trump administration not to scrap US participation in the landmark Paris climate agreement, running counter to White House moves on carbon emissions. Fighting climate change will require technological advances, the letter said, and the United States should advance policies that promote this. China is the world's largest greenhouse gas emitter and India could overtake the United States as the world's second-largest by mid-century, Trelenberg said in the letter. The Trump administration has not said whether it will pull out of the Paris agreement but yesterday unveiled policies that could move the US away from meeting internationally agreed emissions targets. The Trump administration is linked to Exxon Mobil through Secretary of State Rex Tillerson, who served as the energy giant's chief executive before becoming America's top diplomat.read more visit us Energy markets
