Researchers have claimed one of the world’s largest oil companies accurately forecast how burning fossil fuels would warm the planet decades ago.
Scientists claim ExxonMobil – which has made billions from selling fossil fuels – publicly denied the link.
The oil giant denied the allegations, telling the BBC: “Those who talk about how ‘Exxon Knew’ are wrong in their conclusions.”
The study, by Harvard University and the Potsdam Institute for Climate Change, analysed data in ExxonMobil’s internal documents and found predictions made in the 1970s were often more accurate than Nasa scientists.
