As President Obama hosts the world's 17 largest economies to discuss a new desperately-needed global binding treaty on climate change, the oil, coal and gas companies are in overdrive trying to undermine the process and maintain their profits.

And Avaaz.org is calling out the worst of the bunch, ExxonMobil Corp., in a new commercial they want to run on CNN.

If you want to see this ad run on CNN you might consider throwing a couple of bucks Avaaz's way to help with the ad buy - think of it as offsetting the big polluter's hot air.
