Dos nuevos y devastadores reportes han revelado una vez más las mentiras y engaños de la industria de combustibles fósiles para esconder décadas de su conocimiento científico sobre el cambio climático y los efectos de sus productos en el planeta. Uno fue encargado por el American Peroleum Institute en 1968; el otro, por Exxon, pocos años después. Ambos han resultado ser asombrosamente exactos en predecir cómo los combustibles fósiles destruyen nuestra atmósfera.
Aun así, como escribe el director asociado de Comunicaciones, Javier Sierra, la industria parece no haber aprendido nada de este pasado corrupto y sigue con sus prácticas destructivas.
Two new devastating reports have uncovered once again the fossil fuel industry’s lies and deceptions to hide their decades-long scientific knowledge about climate change and the effects their products have on our planet. One was commissioned by the American Petroleum Institute in 1968; the other, by Exxon, in the 1970's. Many decades later, both proved to be astonishingly accurate in predicting how fossil fuels are destroying our atmosphere.
Yet, as Associate Director of Communications Javier Sierra writes, the industry seems to have learned nothing from this corrupt past and continues its destructive practices. |
