Episode Details

In 1959, a scientist told the American Petroleum Institute that burning fossil fuels would raise global temperatures and drown coastal cities. The industry spent the next 40 years saying the science was uncertain.

Richard Wiles of the Center for Climate Integrity has spent his career getting Big Oil's own documents in front of juries to prove they knew the damage they would cause. This episode of Agitation Nation features Wiles and Michael Greenberg of Climate Defiance on the plastics fraud, the natural gas lie, and the campaign to make the oil industry legally immune from all of it. #ExxonKnew
