Senate Hearing Reveals Oil Companies’ Decades-Long Climate Disinformation Campaign, Suppressing Scientific Findings, Lawmakers Allege.

A Senate Budget Committee hearing highlighted new findings in an ongoing congressional investigation into allegations that major oil companies have engaged in a decades-long climate disinformation campaign. The documents, released by Democrats, show that oil and gas companies and lobby groups manipulated the narrative around fossil fuels to shape the narrative. House Oversight and Accountability ranking member Jamie Raskin (D-Md), the star witness, accused the companies of deliberately suppressing relevant scientific findings for decades and then dismissing calls by scientists to take climate change seriously.
