Exxon vs. the Truth: How a Fossil Fuel Giant Misled the World on Climate Change | 20|

In this episode, we delve into ExxonMobil's contradictory stance on climate change. While the company's internal research from the late 1970s to the late 1980s acknowledged the dangers of human-induced global warming, ExxonMobil simultaneously funded a $31 million campaign to cast doubt on the scientific consensus. This dual approach involved supporting over 30 organizations that worked to undermine climate science and hinder policy actions aimed at reducing greenhouse gas emissions. The episode explores how ExxonMobil's public messaging starkly contrasted with its internal findings, highlighting the company's role in delaying meaningful climate action.Source: https://www.theguardian.com/environment/climate-consensus-97-per-cent/2015/nov/25/two-faced-exxon-the-misinformation-campaign-against-its-own-scientists
