The Campaign Against the Climate

This film shows how the petrochemical industry succeeded in using media/sales people to pursuade the public that the greenhouse effect wasn't happening, wasn't significant, or was even a good thing, in spite of the scientific evidence to the contrary, which they were well aware of (at least some of that research was done by scientists they employed). How well they succeded is exemplified by the fact that Myron Ebell - who, before his successes in climate change denial, had worked for the tobacco industry to deny the ill-effects of tobacco - was made head of the US's Environmental Protection Agency by Donald Trump. His smirk when recalling the fact will live with me a long time.

The film did the job well, and for that reason was somewhat depressing. Just one thing bugged me - I wish that someone in the production team had told the narrator how to pronounce "ExxonMobil".
