A new documentary series by The YEARS Project explores government-oil industry ties uncovered by a Center for Public Integrity investigation.

The series focuses on when American Petroleum Institute (API), the oil industry’s most powerful trade group, first became aware of climate change — nearly 60 years ago — and the science disinformation campaign they launched that continues to this day.
