Recently I did a very frustrated post about climate change, using the scanned pics and text from a Time special report way back in 1989 (click to enlarge).
I asked, given that today they are talking about the biggest mass extinction since the dinosaurs, which is the very same thing they were talking about in 1989, WTF had happened in all those years?
Today the Abbott gov has just approved a massive 35km wide coal mine in mid-north NSW prime farmland for instance. WTF has gone wrong?
Simply put, Big Oil did a Big Tobacco. Already knowing about the science they set out to disprove it knowing they were wrong.
- Companies have directly or indirectly spread climate disinformation for decades;
- Corporate leaders knew the realities of climate science—that their products were harmful to people and the planet—but still actively deceived the public and denied this harm;
- The campaign of deception continues, with some of the documents having surfaced as recently as in 2014 and 2015. more
