BP's partnership with Princeton University showcases how fossil fuel companies infiltrate academic institutions, obscuring their ongoing fossil fuel production while claiming to promote low carbon initiatives.
The study reveals hundreds of conflicts of interest between the fossil fuel industry and academic institutions, influencing research and dialogue on climate solutions to favor oil and gas.
Research on academic conflicts with Big Oil is scarce; only 7 out of 14,000 articles over 20 years focus on the industry's role in climate obstruction.
Geoffrey Supran emphasizes the need for increased scrutiny on how fossil fuel partnerships with academia hamper genuine climate action and urges further scholarly research on this issue.
