Internal documents unearthed by journalists, researchers, and academics show Big Oil’s knowledge and lies about the industry’s role in the climate crisis.
Scientists and executives at fossil fuel companies knew more than 50 years ago that burning fossil fuels would raise global temperatures and could lead to "catastrophic" consequences.
After deciding to prioritize industry profits over public health and safety, climate polluters deliberately sowed doubt to undermine scientific evidence.
As climate change becomes undeniable, Big Oil has shifted from denial to duplicity by falsely claiming to be part of the solution.
