This second episode tells the true story of the secret research<\/strong>\u00a0done on carbon dioxide and climate by the petroleum industry (companies such as Exxon and Shell) in the 1970s-1980s. The industry did not deny that its products would cause global damage, but it kept quiet about it.<\/p>\n This comic was done in collaboration with Dr. Benjamin Franta, a researcher at Stanford University investigating the history of fossil fuel producers and climate science.\u00a0Several of his articles were used as references for this comic series:<\/p>\n Other references:<\/p>\n Find all our sustainability cartoons here<\/a>.
