Climate crisis - How oil companies hushed up research results | DW Documentary

Climate change is not news to big oil companies. They’ve known about it for more than 40 years, even burying their own research results on the links between carbon emissions and global warming.
In the 1970s, oil conglomerates commissioned research into climate change. It predicted the global warming that we’re facing today. But US oil companies hushed up these findings rather than accepting responsibility. Just like the tobacco industry before it, the industry spent millions on a disinformation campaign. This campaign aimed to discredit the results, sowing doubts about human-induced climate change, so the companies could stave off tougher climate policies and continue drilling for oil and gas unhindered. Now they are facing dozens of lawsuits.
In the US, for example, the city of Charleston on the southeastern Atlantic coast is suing Big Oil for climate adaptation costs. The city says the companies are to blame for the increased flooding it is facing. The legal dispute could make history. The municipality alleges that climate change could have been effectively tackled decades ago had it not been for the oil industry’s ‘multi-decade campaign of deception.’ Oil companies have denied the allegations.

    @@koushikdas1992 I ride 40 km a day to work on a bicycle. But that is not the point. If these criminals hadn't lied 40 years ago, most people would have cheap, reliable, and save public transport by now. (Of course, EVs would also be on a totally different level by now, but public transport is even more environmentally friendly and, besides, can even be used by handicapped or elderly people who cannot drive a car.) The reason people are using cars is that the entire infrastructure of almost every country on earth is built around cars. Only within the last years, some pioneer countries started investing into bicycle and public transport and it massively, MASSIVELY improved the quality of life for everyone. Especially for people who live in cities, but also for everyone else. It all comes down to political decisions which are affected by what we, the people, know, as well as by that what companies do to influence such decisions. If politicians and the public had not been confused through lies, you would probably not even need a bike.

    That was the plan from the start. And Exxon must have also liaised with other oil comps to get such an accurate prediction for CO2 production. They all knew what would happen. The most sadistic of their strategies was to tap conservative groups to teach the god-fearing public that climate can only be affected by god. And tbh the leaders of those religious groups probably knew full well that they were lying to their congregation, especially the watchtower nuts who without coincidence began to rise in popularity during the late 70s and early 80s' just as the global warming signal was observed by scientists. The oil comps then began turning it into a political question as opposed to one of health and safety. Scientists had no political party. But the right-wing corporate fascists did, including support of the conservative zealots. It was always a rigged game and if hell was real then they belong in it.

Our society has been built on the premise that we will use petroleum products (gas, plastic, synthetic fibers) or we will perish. It takes 5 acres of land to feed a single human. Are we all ready to go back to the 19th century? and raise our own food? There are 394,342,000 acres of arable land in the US, and 333.3 million citizens, just a little over 1 acre per person.

    BS. In the 1970 climate alarmists were promising we were entering an ice age. Then in the 1980s they did a complete 180⁰ and claimed we were experiencing global warming. And the "experts" predictions have been comically wrong for decades. In then 1990s they claimed the polar ice caps would be almost completely melted by 2020 yet those same ice caps are larger than they've been in decades. They predicted several degrees of warming but even with their skewed and biased reports the temperature has barely risen one degree in 5 decades. When are people going to acknowledge this whole thing is about power and control and the climate science is absolute junk meant to scare the population into compliance. The real issue is pollution of our air and water, not C02 emissions.

    Oh, they lied to Congress. It was obvious in the 1970's because about 20 countries were running Weather Modification, aka climate change, programs in their countries to change the climate. By 2010's over half of the countries in the world were running programs to change the weather/climate...so, with that many countries running weather change programs many people would notice. However, weather/climate change has very little to do with you, me, and the oil companies. If the Governments around the world stopped running their weather modification programs the "climate change" would just stop. Look on the World Meterological Organization for a list o Weather Modification Programs by Country, they provide a list of these to the UN every year. Years 1980-2010 are discoverable on the internet...after 2010 becomes tricky, they put a lock on the lists. The lists will tell you: Country, Program Name, Weather Modification Delivery Method, Year. Now, if you still really want to hate the energy companies...look into whether they cause earthquakes....they'd rather you run in circles over 'climate change' than actually look into their earthquake activities.

    They don't have to surrender, they are not causing any problems with the climate and your energy consumption is also not changing the climate. What the energy companies may be causing are earth quakes, and they may be hiding that they know they are causing earth quakes. As for 'climate change'...that is caused by over half of the Governments in the world runinng programs to change the climate, they call it Weather Modification. They report on these projects every year to the UN via the World Meteorological Organziation. If you search for WMO Weather Modification Country Lists Yearly Reporting...you may be able to find some of the lists between 1980-2010. Pretty interesting read...and you will not like the UN or all of this blaming you for climate change propoganda. They know exactly who is changing the climate, how it's being done, the program names, and organized by Country. It's not you, me, or the gasa companies changing the climate...it's the UN, WMO, and Governments that are changing the climate...and, if they stop running the programs...climate change just stops. Kind of funny. Now, try to look into energy companies causing earth quakes, you'll get shut down very quickly...which means you're onto something real.

And before you slate me please not I love this planet, and hate seeing it get destroyed through greed, the people telling you all these lies only care about control, and thats of you, not the climate. When your taxes keep going up because of this ask yourself where that money is going and why despite global efforts nothing changes. Its because its all a lie. The pollution we should be tackling is being ignored, because the people doing it are the same ones blaming you for driving your car. Oil is bad for the environment, but global warming is a lie, its been a lie they 1st used it to raise tax, it worked in terms of revenue for these greedy people so stop buying into it.

    While hurricanes DO play a role, they are also worse because of this. These coastal trees, can survive a little sea water once in a while, they've lived with hurricanes for thousands of years. however, when sea levels rise, even just millimeters, the saltwater no longer drains back into the sea, it stays among the roots, and that is something the trees can't survive.

    To be honest with ourselves, fossil fuels gave us the possibility to develop our present civilization in a rapid way. Fossil fuels are a blessing and in the same time a curse. What is outrageous and criminal is that from a point in history, fossil fuel industry, lobby guys, politicians stopped thinking about healthy global development and pursued only money for themselves. And we got at this point when global warming and climate change are in our lives and getting worse year by year speeding on a path towards total collapse without the possibility to reverse them. My respect and sympathy goes with all the scientists which for the last decades dedicated their lives to research the problem and inform the public. And they have done it against all obstacles raised by the criminal lobby against science. LOOK UP!

Lobbyists got paid very well on these issues. It's not about the well-being of people it's clearly about the profits.

    It's easy for some people to say "but the public buys it" which is to say, supply and demand. It's true that we wouldn't have been able to just stop using fossil fuels when it was first discovered how harmful the excessive usage is, as we are already using its products and a lot of industries depended on it. The public needed it. But if instead of fighting, denying, and spreading misinformation, these corporations actually studied and made changes in their products, maybe we won't be having the problems we have now. The general public cannot make huge changes - we buy based on what options we have and based on the information we know. It is the corporations who have the power and money. They clearly chose what to use that power and money for.

    Tesla/ space x is my favorite sham in the world for this. Rocket fuel is different than ours, but I'm sure it releases plenty of harmful things too. They're basically blasting rockets up weekly now. I wonder how many teslas you'd need to put on the road to offset just 1 launch.

I guess you haven't noticed that Florida has insurance companies leaving coverage for the state and elsewhere? That's not sustainable in any way, shape or form. You may not be able to handle the truth that these corporations have to switch to more sustainable energy sources, but the climate doesn't care about your fragile sensibilities and will burn down your home and/or flood it nonetheless.

    Watching a movie about misinformation and comment with misinformation😂. All latest researches show that EV are the most reliable alternative - and we do a lot of research in Germany and are leading in gas engine production. You will always find papers showing the opposite cause sience is democratic and everyone can publish. You are responsible to check if your recourse is valid e.g. in Germany the association of the gas engine building companies has done a research- what outcome would you expect? Afterward it turned out that they calculated with a 1 l/100km engine and the EV only used electricity from coal. But even then the EV was not much worse. That showed me that even in the worst worse Szenario EV are the best solution. Regarding some other misinformation: Do you know that most Lithium comes from Australia and that the tourism industry in the Attacama uses more water that Lithiumproduction. New batteries like in Tesla Model 3 don’t use Cobalt anymore. The proportion of renewables in Germany in 2023 was over 60%. China has built more solar in 2023 that the total rest of the world in his history.

    The fascinating thing is that as was pointed out the strategies employed by the oil companies are exactly the same as those employed by the tobacco industry in the 1960's and 70's. Even more than that the recovery strategies used by those same tobacco companies are already being copied by the oil companies. Once the tobacco industry realized that it could not fight the changes they pivoted to another similar product that they could control and that product is vaping with claims that it is a healthy alternative to smoking, something that research is proving wrong. For the oil industry it is hydrogen, once again a product that they can control and monopolize. It looks green and is not something that can be done on a small scale but when you look a little deeper it is not green at all and makes no sense in the transport sector. The problem they have with direct electricity is that they are unable to control the production of distribution nor will they ever be able to therefore they cant control the price.

    The oil industry knew about the consequences of their industry since the 1960s, and recently I heard that it might go back even further to the 1940s. Any legal action against them in the past was considered to be political, thus no action taken. I definitely agree that the industry should not be getting subsidies for their recklessness. There might finally be legal action taken against the industry based on crimes against humanity which I whole heartedly support.

    By volume, the dry air in Earth's atmosphere is about 78.08 percent nitrogen, 20.95 percent oxygen, and 0.93 percent argon, adding up to 99.96 percent. A brew of trace gases accounts for the other approximately 0.04 percent, including the greenhouse gases carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide and ozone. To think that a small increase (200 parts per million in the last hundred years) of carbon dioxide would affect the weather is absurd.
