How Oil Companies Hid the Truth About Climate Change

For decades, major oil companies conducted their own scientific research on climate change, which indicated that burning fossil fuels contributed to global warming. However, instead of disclosing this information to the public, these companies engaged in campaigns to spread misinformation and undermine the scientific consensus on climate change. They funded front groups, lobbied against climate regulations, and promoted the idea that climate change was a natural occurrence or that its impacts were exaggerated. This intentional deception by oil companies has delayed global action on climate change, leading to more severe and widespread consequences.
