Documents reveal that oil companies were cautioned about fossil fuels' climate impact as early as 1954, highlighting a long history of awareness and denial.
Rebecca John states, '[Every time there's a push for climate action, fossil fuel companies downplay and deny the harms of burning fossil fuels,]' indicating a persistent pattern of deception over decades.
The Air Pollution Foundation was created in 1953 by the oil industry to address public concerns over smog, providing a facade of concern while countering pollution regulations.
Geoffrey Supran notes, '[The Air Pollution Foundation appears to be one of the earliest efforts by the oil industry to exaggerate scientific uncertainty],' illustrating a strategic defense of their interests.
