Inside Knowledge: ExxonMobil’s Climate Change Awareness Uncovered | 14 |

In this revealing episode, inspired by an article from The Guardian, we uncover ExxonMobil’s early knowledge of climate change, going back to an email from 1981 by former company climate expert Lenny Bernstein. The email discloses ExxonMobil’s awareness of the environmental risks associated with a large natural gas field in southeast Asia—a project they understood could significantly contribute to global warming. Despite this knowledge, ExxonMobil continued to fund climate denial campaigns for years, even as scientific consensus around climate change grew. Tune in as we discuss the ethical and environmental implications of these actions and explore the ongoing debate over corporate responsibility in addressing climate issues.
