An investigative journalist, drawing from hundreds of confidential oil industry documents spanning decades, reveals, for the first time, the far-right conspiracy that’s stopped the world from preventing the climate crisis, and tells the high-stakes stories of people fighting back to get global emissions under control.

"Drawing from hundreds of confidential oil industry documents spanning decades, this explosive work of investigative reporting reveals for the first time the far-right conspiracy that's stopped the world from preventing the climate crisis. In The Petroleum Papers, investigative journalist Geoff Dembicki tells the story of how the American oil companies that founded the tar sands in Alberta, Canada--home to the third-biggest oil reserves on the planet--ignored warnings about climate devastation as early as 1959. Instead of alerting the world to act on this impending global disaster, Exxon, Koch Industries, Shell and others created ad campaigns saying climate change isn't real and that alternatives to oil are an economic disaster. These companies built a global right-wing echo chamber to ensure tar sands could keep flowing into the U.S., which helped elect Donald Trump and now leaves the Joe Biden administration with a sprawling climate mess. But Dembicki also tells the high-stakes stories of people fighting back: the Seattle lawyer who brought Big Tobacco to its knees and is now going after Big Oil, a young Filipina activist who saw her family drown in a climate disaster, and a former engineer at Exxon who was pushed out for asking too many hard questions. With experts now warning we have less than a decade to get global emissions under control, The Petroleum Papers provides a step-by-step account of how we got to this precipice and the politicians and companies who deserve our blame."--

Recenzijas

"[ A] brisk, masterful crime story" Toronto Star

"In a classical Greek tragedy, the world is brought to ruin by a character's moral flaw. The moral flaw that has brought the planet to the brink of climate chaos, according to [ The Petroleum Papers], is unbridled greed compounded by hubrisa bloated sense of corporate entitlement...[ F]or those who want a no-frills account of how we ended up on the climate precipice, this is an essential read." Richard Schiffman, The Washington Post

"The petroleum industry is guilty of a Big Tobaccostyle public cover-up, according to this vivid exposé. Publishers Weekly STARRED Review

"A truly needed compendium of Big Oil's endless liesGeoff Dembicki has done the world a tremendous favor. Hopefully we'll act on it; if not, it will be a great resource for any future historians wondering why and how we let the petroleum-industrial complex do such damage." Bill McKibben, author of The End of Nature and Falter and cofounder of 350.org

"A terrific and engaging book with great new investigative material. The Petroleum Papers reveals how the Koch brothers, Exxon and other key players in the Canadian tar sands led a decades-long campaign to misinform the public about climate change. Dembicki has provided us with a compelling narrative of the efforts fossil fuel companies took to profit from planet destroying fuels despite extensive knowledge of the dangers. Robert Brulle, Visiting Professor of Environment and Society, Brown University

Dembicki's painstaking journalism and research help reveal a global kleptocracy as cold-blooded as they are deluded; this book belongs on the shelf next to Naomi Oreskes and Erik Conways Merchants of Doubt, Jane Mayers Dark Money, and Christopher Leonards Kochland. An essential chapter in the tragic story of our collective failure to stop catastrophic climate change. Roy Scranton, author of Learning to Die in the Anthropocene

Dembicki documents how oil industry executives willfully ignored the findings of their own scientists, then spent nearly thirty years sowing confusion in order to paralyze public debate... Read this book on the power of lies and scream. Andrew Nikiforuk, author of Tar Sands

"An exposé that reads like a novel... The Petroleum Papers is gripping even as it enrages." Seth Klein, author of A Good War
