The Center for International Environmental Law (CIEL) launched a searchable online database of more than 100 documents that bring to light new information on how the oil industry responded – and failed to respond – in the face of climate change.

"We now know that the oil industry was engaged in climate science by the 1950s and on notice of climate risks by the 1960s. The question arises: What did they do with that information?" said CIEL President Carroll Muffett. "Our research suggests the oil companies invested more in explaining away climate risks than in confronting them."

Even as its understanding of climate risks increased, the oil industry funded research into sother pollutants that would offset warming; potential carbon sinks that would reduce the need to control emissions; and alternate theories of climate change that continue to be used by climate deniers.
