New Study Accuses Fossil Fuel Industry Of Misleading The Public on Climate Change

Douglas McIntyre, Editor-in-Chief at Climate Crisis 24/7, discusses a damning new study from the Union of Concerned Scientists titled Decades of Deceit. The report accuses major fossil fuel companies of knowingly hiding the environmental risks of their products for decades. Despite their understanding of the impact on climate and the threat of regulation, these companies allegedly launched campaigns to mislead the public and delay action. McIntyre notes that while the deception is unsurprising, the limited number of lawsuits from cities and states remains unexpected.
