The Power of Big Oil, Part Three: Delay

Dr.Docs' Take

The Power of Big Oil is FRONTLINE showing that the fossil-fuel industry understood human-caused climate change decades ago and chose, deliberately, to sow doubt instead. Part three, Delay, is about the years quietly bought with that doubt. I file this beside Merchants of Doubt as proof the strategy was real, funded, and coldly effective. The receipts are the whole point, and here they are.

This concluding chapter of FRONTLINE's investigation into the oil industry examines the long campaign to delay action on climate change. It lays out what scientists, executives and politicians knew for decades and the opportunities that were missed to slow global warming. Drawing on documents and testimony, it traces how doubt and lobbying stalled meaningful reform. It is rigorous, unsettling reporting on one of the defining issues of our time.
