Today Exxon Mobil, one of the world's biggest polluters & contributors to man-made climate change, is in New York City. They will meet with financial analysts at the New York Stock Exchange to release its capital budget and to discuss how to distribute over $30 billion in long-term investments over 2015.

Join the conversation online. Tell @ExxonMobil what they should invest in by using the #ExxonShouldInvest on Facebook and Twitter.
