Quote:Major oil companies are lining up behind an idea by former top Republicans to impose a tax on carbon dioxide emissions. The Climate Leadership Council, which is pushing the idea, on Tuesday announced that Exxon Mobil Corp., BP, Royal Dutch Shell and Total are among a group of “Founding Members” for its campaign. Other major corporate and individual members are also included. The group, led by former Treasury Secretary James Baker and former Secretary of State George Schultz, is hoping for a boost to its longshot goal of garnering support among Republicans for a carbon tax to fight climate change.Oil giants back carbon tax proposal | TheHill
