“Instead of acting like Paul Revere and sounding the alarm about climate change , they acted like Maleficent the evil fairy and Sleeping Beauty and cursed everyone to try to go to sleep for 100 years,” said Raskin during a Senate Budget Committee hearing.The Maryland Democrat described calling a House Oversight hearing in 2019 where scientists and experts testified that the companies “knew” that burning fossil fuels caused climate change as early as 1959.
The report focused on several companies including Exxon, Chevron, Shell, BP, the American Petroleum Institute and the Chamber of Commerce which are described as having “obstructed and delayed the committees’ investigation.”“Our investigation uncovered compelling evidence of aggressive industry deceit which continued long after Big Oil gave up on its outright climate denialism,” he said.
