Climate Denial Campaigns So Successful They’re Now in Court
Season 1
Episode 7
Published 7 years, 6 months ago
Description
The fossil fuel industry's decades-long information war left the public skeptical of climate change, even as oil companies themselves publicly accepted the science. Fewer Americans believe in the need to act on climate change than did 30 years ago, despite surmountable evidence. Industry campaigns were so successful they've now landed oil companies in court, facing multiple suits attempting to hold them accountable for the damages inflicted by unchecked climate change.
