The ABCs of Big Oil: Why Fossil Fuel Industry Infiltrated Schools (Podcast 38:03)

For decades, the fossil fuel industry has been distributing propaganda to limit how Americans think about taking on the climate crisis. They haven’t just done so through political lobbying and advertising. They’ve also taken a much more insidious route: shaping schools’ curricula. That’s what climate journalist Amy Westervelt and I explore in our new podcast, a collaboration with Drilled called The ABCs of Big Oil.  In our first episode, we wanted to find out why fossil fuel companies think it’s worth investing in education in the first place. What we dug up should give you a good idea. - Drilled
