Los medios de noticias The Guardian y DeSmog publicaron un reportaje de investigaci\u00f3n que revela pagos de Exxon a The Atlas Network, un grupo de 500 centros de pensamiento procapitalistas que sabotearon el apoyo a los tratados clim\u00e1ticos internacionales en el Sur Global. Se supon\u00eda que estos tratados limitar\u00edan el consumo de combustibles f\u00f3siles y, por lo tanto, afectar\u00edan las ganancias de la petrolera. The Atlas Network, financiada por Exxon, public\u00f3 investigaciones falsas para intentar convencer a los pa\u00edses pobres de que firmar tratados que mitigaran los efectos del cambio clim\u00e1tico global los perjudicar\u00eda desproporcionadamente. Lo cierto es lo contrario: las estad\u00edsticas demuestran que los pa\u00edses pobres sufren las peores consecuencias del cambio clim\u00e1tico. Seg\u00fan el informe, Exxon y The Atlas Network aprovecharon las tensiones entre pa\u00edses para generar temores econ\u00f3micos que persisten hasta el d\u00eda de hoy.   &amp;nbsp;   Throughout the 1990s and 2000s, the Exxon oil company funded US-based organizations that sought to discredit climate science, assure the public that it was safe to burn fossil fuels, and block US participation in international climate treaties. The news organizations The Guardian and DeSmog have published an investigative report uncovering payments from Exxon to The Atlas Network, a group of 500 pro-capitalist think tanks that sabotaged support for international climate treaties across the Global South. These treaties would presumably result in limiting the consumption of fossil fuels and therefore affect profits of the oil company. The Atlas Network, funded by Exxon, published false research to try to convince poor countries that entering into treaties that slowed the effects of climate change would hurt those poor countries disproportionately. The opposite is true; statistics show that poor countries suffer the worst consequences of climate change. According to the report, Exxon and the Atlas Network took advantage of tensions between countries to raise economic fears that persist to this day.
