On the Oct 30th edition of Your Call, it’s our Friday media roundtable. This week, we’ll discuss investigations by Inside Climate News and the Los Angeles Times, which reveal that Exxon Mobil knew about climate change as early as 1977, 11 years before it became a public issue.
According to the reports, the oil giant has since spent millions of dollars to promote misinformation campaigns. How should these revelations change the media’s coverage of climate change and climate deniers? Join the conversation on the next Your Call, with Mark Hertsgaard, and you.
