  • Complete look at the fossil fuel industry and their lies. A must have exhibit for the trial of the industry that has already killed more people than any other and is likely to hold that honor for a long time.

  • Great information, but…

    Great information but I found that they kept repeating voice clips from interviews and made the whole thing just drawn out for unnecessary reasons. I think they cut the episodes to be really short so they can pack as many adds in and then they keep reusing the same interview bits. I love climate science and love fighting big oil but this could have been 3 episodes with much less adds…
