In his letter complaining about global warming education, John Kohler urged readers to “Just follow the money that the green revolution produces” (May 7, Kent Reporter). When I follow the money, I am more likely to find Exxon, whose 2007 oil profits exceeded $40 billion, the largest profit ever made by any company at any time in history. Combined, U.S. oil companies made over $100 billion. While I am confident that green businesses will be profitable and that we can and should invest in them, it is ludicrous to suggest that money drives people to fight against climate change, when the cash is clearly on the side of traditional carbon-based industry.
