Posted below is an excellent video I discovered recently, of George Monbiot's investigation on Newsnight into the pseudoscience peddled by big oil companies, particularly ExxonMobil - and the startling discovery that their campaign to quash environmental understanding was rooted in an earlier campaign of misinformation on the part of the tobacco companies. An extraordinarily eye-opening report, and well worth watching.
For a more in-depth treatment, see Monbiot's latest book Heat: How to Stop the Planet Burning, of which there is an illuminating excerpt on the climate change denial industry available here.
