Big Oil and Climate Disinformation
This week’s broadcast, “Richard Wiles & Matthew Cunningham-Cook on Climate Disruption Filtered Through Corporate Media,” explores how corporate media issues little honest coverage on the decades-long disinformation campaign that Big Oil is using to cover up what it knows about the climate change catastrophe and its efforts to continue the consumption of fossil fuels indefinitely.
At the same time the industry is pledging to make progress in decarbonizing our transportation sector, it’s increasing drilling in the Permian Basin by a factor of ten, while actively slowing the development of wind energy.
My favorite line from the show: “Right behind hydrocarbons, the second main product of the oil companies is lies.”
