Help out

The Exxonsecrets website has been managed for years by a small professional staff in Greenpeace. With this wiki, we decided to open up the project and encourage the contribution of the public, in order to gather as much data as possible about Exxon-funded climate sceptics. Below are links to things you can do to improve the database. Also, please add things to the list when you see something that needs to be done. You can always contact the Exxonsecrets team if you need assistance.
