From Fortune:
ExxonMobil, the world's largest publicly traded oil and gas company, is urging the White House to stick with the global climate agreement reached in Paris last year.
In a letter sent to the White House on March 22 — days before President Donald Trump signed an executive order rolling back Barack Obama's climate legacy — Exxon told the administration that the Paris agreement is an "effective framework for addressing the risks of climate change" and that the U.S. is "well positioned to compete" under the deal, according to CNN Money.
The Paris agreement was ratified by 195 countries with the intent of reducing global warming. France's foreign minister Laurent Fabius called the plan a "historic turning point" and President Obama celebrated the treaty as "the moment that we finally decided to save our planet."

Pro-tip for Trump: When you’re further to the right on the environment than the world’s largest oil company, you are wayyyyy outside the mainstream.
Just yesterday, Trump signed an executive order that begins undoing President Obama’s Clean Power Plan. One wonders how ExxonMobil feels about that move.
