The Petroleum Papers: Inside the Far-Right Conspiracy to Cover Up Climate Change (Washington Post Best Book of the Year)

The Petroleum Papers is a groundbreaking exposé that uncovers the decades-long conspiracy of top American oil executives to ignore scientists' warnings about catastrophic global warming caused by burning fossil fuels.

Drawing from confidential industry documents, investigative journalist Geoff Dembicki reveals how companies like Exxon, Koch Industries, and Shell built a global right-wing echo chamber to protect oil sands profits, while ignoring the devastating impact of their actions on the planet.

But The Petroleum Papers is not just a damning exposé – it's also a call to action.

Dembicki tells the high-stakes stories of people fighting back against these powerful corporations, from a Seattle lawyer who brought down Big Tobacco and is now going after Big Oil, to a Filipina activist whose family drowned in a climate disaster, and a former Exxon engineer pushed out for asking hard questions.

With experts warning we have less than a decade to get global emissions under control, The Petroleum Papers provides a step-by-step account of how we got to this precipice – and the politicians and companies who deserve our blame.
