BLACK GOLD exposes the full story of how Exxon and the oil industry’s own scientists were among the first to discover that fossil fuels were heating up the atmosphere. But instead of raising the alarm, they abandoned science, transparency and partnerships with elite government scientists and launched a decades-long corporate cover-up. With special access to oil industry and government whistleblowers, shocking accounts from scientists and activists, and explosive new investigative reporting, BLACK GOLD is a riveting exploration of morality, the malleability of facts, and the supremacy of corporate America in reshaping and forever altering our world.
