Recent investigations and hearings by US House Democrats and the Senate Budget Committee have highlighted the ongoing issue of disinformation and deception by major oil companies regarding climate change. The investigations have revealed that these companies have been aware of the negative impacts of their emissions since the 1960s but have engaged in misleading practices to obscure the science, contributing to their record profits. This has led to growing support for a Department of Justice investigation into the matter, as public and governmental pressure mounts against the fossil fuel industry's tactics of denial, deception, and doublespeak.
