'Betraying the Public': Shell’s 60-Year Climate Change Denial | DISPATCH | HD Documentary

In the shadow of Donald Trump's climate skepticism, a shocking revelation unfolds: Oil giants Exxon and Shell have orchestrated a 60-year cover-up on climate change.
New documents prove that since 1957, these companies have known that burning fossil fuels changes the climate - their own, strictly secret research had revealed this. But the US oil companies did not only carry out research and then concealed their results. Since 1963, Exxon and Shell engineers have been using their knowledge about climate change to gear up for a warming planet: They built higher and sturdier oil rigs to compensate for rising sea levels and more severe storms. Pipelines in the Arctic were anchored more firmly because of the melting permafrost.
This is the story of the biggest cover-up in history, which lasted for 60 years and is only now being revealed.
This documentary was first released in 2017.
