The Petroleum Papers by Geoff Dembicki

Inside the Far-Right Conspiracy to Cover Up Climate Change

A journalist exposes how oil giants and their political allies long knew the dangers of global warming yet built a coordinated apparatus of disinformation, lobbying, and media manipulation to stall climate policy. Drawing on internal documents and PR playbooks, it traces the links between Canada’s oil sands, U.S. power brokers, dark money networks, and far-right operatives that seeded doubt, shaped elections, and targeted critics. It also highlights the human and environmental toll—especially on Indigenous and frontline communities—and calls for accountability as a prerequisite to meaningful climate action.
