The Power of Big Oil Part One: Denial (full documentary) | FRONTLINE 

You always struck me as a PBS kinda guy. Have a great day!

There are many people in denial about the climate change theory. Not so many are in denial about the Sun. It makes more sense to deny climate change than it does to deny the Sun.

@@jakebredthauer5100 if we didn't have decades worth of research that is easily accessible to anyone with an internet connection, you may have a point. Without access to a world's worth of information at their fingertips, it took a few centuries to reach a consensus on what or where the sun is. With the availability of info now out there, from a variety of credible sources, climate change denial is more akin to willful ignorance.

@@innawoods2131 It would take too long to look at that. What harm has climate change done so far?

Well it’s not in the sky, but I know what you mean ;)

In my 20 years since college, I've learned that this is what many Americans think their life is devoted to: Making money.. and continuing to let the money flow. Even at the expense of truth, or even safety, or public good etc.

@@MrLarryLessor What will it take to upend this harmful, routine way of thinking in American society?

@@burjalmadre That thinking will always be here - be part of our country... but hopefully less and less people will believe in that since it has failed after 20 or 30 years of companies trying it. I just had a golf outting yesterday where my retired friend said he worked at Sears for some years and they just were really rigid in their way of thinking and had little room for new ideas - and now they are pretty much going bankrupt after over 100 years of business. There are people who just don't understand that "Making a profit" is not even one of the top 4 reasons this country was created: Read the Preamble to the Constitution: The first sentence talks about to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defense..... It doesn't even mention "promoting he general Welfare" until the 3rd or 4th goal.... So it's certainly not #1. And "general welfare" does not even necessarily mean private wealth: So making profit FOR YOURSELF was not one of the main reasons for this country - I've had buddies who were very profit-oriented who argued "Yeah but the Pursuit of Happiness implies pursuit of property". Still even if you make that interpretation the first 3 or even 4 reasons for creating America was NOT maximizing profit. If more people could understand and accept/ realize that, then maybe more people would contribute to wanting a safer, cleaner planet. And ensuring justice for all and "a more perfect union". A lot of Americans nowadays have no interest in unity, they are all about amassing wealth and property for themselves, and they think government should just stay out of the way as much as possible and let people be 'free". Many of those people have lost sight of why this country was created - it wasn't to allow people to do whatever they want without limits.... , and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity

@@burjalmadre Michael Rupert, which is an interesting character for many reasons, did a talk to a few people in a church twenty years ago that really had me asking myself these very questions. His way of putting it was to call it the infinite growth paradigm. Our entire way of thinking is predicated on the idea that growth must continue forever. Which anyone over the age of 6 knows is impossible. We are living in a finite space with limited resources. Even the most brilliant minds at the University of Chicago economics department over look the long term effects of their models. I would argue they can’t see past the next quarter let alone a decade or century down the road. Identifying the problem in thinking isn’t the issue. Deprogramming the masses to not contribute to the problem is insurmountable. Try telling someone they shouldn’t invest money. When you contribute to a 401k you’re contributing to the problem. When you get a credit card, you’re contributing to the problem. So the problem is easily identifiable but you’ll look like a nut case when you give someone the solution.

When openly lying is acceptable in society and is even seen as being part of one’s job and responsibility, it shows that society has truly gone to he||.

People will do and say anything for money. That and power are why we are in this global warming crisis.

'Its just business', Robert Gates, Former Director of Defense, GWB Administration

Damn

But at least a handful of individuals made billions for themselves though right? That's what's really important, keeping the rich, rich...

It's literally not happening. Didn't you see? They were predicting the doom and gloom would happen in the 70s, then the 80s, then Manhattan would be underwater by the year 2000. Now they say 2030 will be the apocalypse. They show a flood and act like that was caused by climate change. Did we not have floods before? Did we not have drought and wildfires? It's ridiculous to think that regular extreme weather events somehow confirm climate change. Every prediction they've ever made is wrong. Climate change is an issue and we've got at least 100 more years to deal with it. And we have been dealing with it. More research, more technology, more innovation.... Even with no significant government action, there are going to be no significant effects to us from climate change. And all the failed predictions show us the foolishness of believing that we're in a state of imminent doom.

@@gussampson5029 that's a lot of mental gymnastics and science denying.. Let me guess.. You think the earth is flat and space doesn't exist either.. Oh and were probably all just in a vr simulation run by aliens also..

"heard all about this impending crisis - to see it really happening now" - Yeah right Missy, I'm ALL for pollution solutions (clean oceans & clean water etc.) ! - But here's the problem; Liberals throughout the decades have been screaming like 'Chicken Little' about "Existential" threats : IN THE 1960's as a child, the schools taught 'There's a coming Mini-Ice-Age"! - In the 70's they screamed about that AND "We're Overpopulating the Planet" ! - In the 80's and 90's they screamed "Critical Oil" ! - Next came all the blah blah of "Global Warming", which then morphed into "Climate Change" - How can anybody with any commonsense take the BIG GOVERNMENT, TAXation, wealth REDISTRIBUTION Leftists seriously? - Green is the new RED - - - (Communism) Just RELAX, the Earth has proven to be SO resilient; i.e. Countless Volcano eruption's, above ground Nuclear tests & Chernobyl (with its Butterflies & daises).

Climate change does not cause wildfires that’s false

@@themela9showwithfulaniyira338 Are you agreeing or just screwing around?

@@HateTheIRS It's a huge factor, no one has said it "caused" wildfires....

@@TheCommunicationCoach it’s not a huge factor at all

The love of money will make a formerly responsible person irresponsible

And least accountable

You all cling to this idea that this is a problem of just bad people who don’t care. These are people who are simply doing what is best for themselves and their families economically under a system that puts little to no value on collective society. This is a systemic problem and the system is CAPITALISM.

And Big Oil isn’t trying to quash the information.

Fortunately, we still have some free speech.

@@jakebredthauer5100 Yeah, right. 😁 🤣 😁 🤣

Information is power....

right?! I expect this content from left-leaning youtube independents but seeing this get to PBS is awesome

We're facing the consequences right now.

@@juicyparsonsPBS deals in facts, and truth. And that is quite "left leaning." If you are right leaning, and believe PBS to be your buddy, you are extraordinarily delusional.

@@juicyparsons if you want to see a great example of just how good Frontline is, watch the Frontline part one on the Russian interference of the 2016 election. Almost every single person they interviewed in now under investigation by John Durham. The cast of conspirators that were colluding to frame DJT is so huge, Durham can only focus on about 20 main characters. Frontline used all these liars to tell a completely false story. It makes you wonder why people would risk their reputation and careers to blatantly lie about what they knew. The funniest part of these Frontline productions is listening to the narrator's booming voice speak with such authority as he lies about everything he says. But here we are again and the same story of lying and twisting facts to create another false narrative. They always fail to mention the changes they are proposing is going to make China the most powerful and richest country in the world. China is laughing their asses off the we are crippling our economy and our security and paying them to build all the unreliable solar and wind turbines. China is building one new coal fired electrical plant every Month and drilling for oil as fast as they can. It's like we just handed them the keys to our country and asked them to please take good care of us innocent fools. I wonder why they aren't building hardly any solar or wind farms?

Gee, I wonder if the timing of this fictional climate propaganda is related to poopy pants shuddering our greatest natural resource. This Frontline garbage is the worst kind of one sided propaganda. I'm glad they had the courage to sneak in Al Gore, the biggest climate huckster of them all. The very same guy that made himself a multimillionaire by accepting free ownership in a fake carbon off set company. It allows big carbon output from companies and says you can buy credits to sponsor carbon reduction, to off set your carbon output. People actually bought that hook line and sinker, just like they keep buying the hucksters predictions of climate catastrophe even when they fail every time.

Oil hadn’t nothing to with this@stephen afonja

Venus is a terrible example. It has MAGNITUDES of higher CO2 and Methane levels than Earth.

Our nature is to protect our community. If we have been deceived for decades about a slowy arriving danger that is hard to perceive with our 5 senses, we do not act.

@@mlight6845 where is the climate danger, where are you when the ice age happened. nice to see a documentary when oil price is in the triple digit and oil companies made money. where is this documentary when oil price was very low for 7 years

Climate change does not cause wildfires that’s false

It’s not so much us, it’s the greedy sociopaths who naturally funnel into power that hold the rest of us back for their own short-sighted, limited self interests.

All propaganda. You been brainwashed

Thanks for explaining how your science class went about demonstrating the proposed effect of carbon dioxide emissions. In autumn of1985 or 1986 I remember a mother carpooling her son and I to school and listening to a news account on the radio warning of the effects of global warming. At that time, I was not scientifically inclined, but the message did not seem out of line with reality: drive more vehicles, increase emissions, and you have a challenge developing in the atmosphere. Today at 49, I am still over come by an ominous feeling when I drive by a 15 story smoke stack from which whilte smoke is billowing out.

@@hotdog7346 No, I just paid attention while I was in school. You might want to try that, sometime.

Agreed - my parents (in their 60s) talk about that at some point in their lives, the big thing was a new ice age, so they somewhat have wanted to blow off everything else since then because it keeps changing (as you said, terminology). We were recently cleaning out my grandparents' house - longtime readers of Reader's Digest - and lo and behold there's RD editions from the late 80s/early 90s giving tips on how to save the climate and the environment. So none of this is "new" by any means, despite what people want to believe.

..After "Traitor Joe" pushes the world into Thermonuclear War, the 'climate' will be a moot point. 😁 🤣 😁 🤣

@@y2ktube Yes, I see your point. But all of the issues that you comment are proven factual and true in time, scientists do see things in advance because... well, that´s what they do!

Completely agree 🙌🏻

Yeah, listen to him on the Russian collusion documentaries. Very impressive liar.

i think the biggest blind spot, (& i believe there was a concerted effort to keep it blind) is human over population. in the 1960s people were talking about it (where i am in U.S.) books, movies mentioned it, & then what happened? it became sacrilegious to say that there are too many people. well, corporations wouldn't want less "consumers" & leaders need tax revenue from growing population, & wars need fresh supply of indoctrnatable youth, etc.& some races/ethnicities/religious types may be encouraged "our people" to breed out of fear they'll be "replaced" but why don't regular folks talk about it? if i know someone is "expecting " a baby, i figure, ok, hope they do their best, & since they've made the decision, im pro baby as far as their family, but inside im still thinking, ok, that's ur dream, but geezus, 7 billion effiing people already, uh, can u not do the math? enough fuuuucking people already.

That's what they said about the tobacco industry and look what happened.

Yes, there’s no law against seeking confusion in relation to science. I can’t help but think of the religious idiots in Italy when Galileo said that the earth is not the center of the universe, that the earth rotates around the sun….throw him in jail.

Radical liberals created a fake narrative.

The observational evidence is that global warming was reported at 1.1°C in 1991 with a lot of news coverage. In 2022 global warming was reported at 1.06°C with no news coverage. In late 1994 it was announced for unknown reasons global warming has suddenly paused in the early 1990s. It is high school taught science that earth's greenhouse effect is always in saturation from the strong greenhouse gas water vapor and can't be changed. All the greenhouse radiant energy is entirely absorbed by greenhouse gases within 20 meters of the earth's surface. At 1% average tropospheric water vapor over 99% of earth's greenhouse effect is from water vapor.

FRONTLINE does not have lofty standards. At least I don't think so. I find them very credible.

And they own all the big media companies, so that they control just about all of the news and information you hear. They've got you by the balls. They spend billions of dollars every year lobbying ­ lobbying to get what they want. Well, we know what they want; they want more for themselves and less for everybody else." - George Carlin Complete agree. Our government really needs an overhaul. Especially the crooked crazy GOP holy shit! But the corporate dems aren't much better as far as big business interests are concerned.

There's no way you can eliminate lobbyists.....free speech. And term limits require a constitutional amendment.

@@chuckevilsizer2383 what does money have to do with speech. It's one thing to talk to a member of congress about your needs. It's another to pay that member of congress to meet your needs. We are not on level playing field anymore. Why are corporate America's needs more important than mine? Did ExxonMobil cast a vote? The idea that corporations are somehow "people" who somehow deserve the same freedoms is ridiculous. It's legalized bribery and a Supreme Court decision that either needs to be overturned or legislated out if we ever want to go back to politicians who work for the people.

@@trinalittlefield6294 well said.

@@trinalittlefield6294 there are supreme court decisions i dont like too. But our laws are passed by congress and the states, and the court interprets the constitution whether you like it or not

LMFAO, you mean “pseudoscience?” I’m so sure you can go into “great scientific detail” when you can’t even spell, lol.

Or how big oil populated the world…

@@poppystars9005 Nope. Documentary explains. With 100% verifiable references.

@@Dangic23 Are you denying that a high population is dependent on high energy use?

@@jakebredthauer5100 No. Not related to my post.

@@Dangic23 I suppose that documentary is from Front-line and Frontline is making a case for stronger, more powerful, larger government to cut off energy to cut off the world population.

@@nikkiwroten2296 Interesting take, Nikki. What are a few examples of what you consider to be honest journalism?

And totally biased.

Why is most of the blame placed on the energy companies? They are doing a job -- providing exactly what society and individual consumers demand, consume, and willingly pay for every single day of their lives. That all of these energy companies are so successful at running their businesses is because consumers don't cut back on energy usage and instead use more and more every day. Personal energy consumption keeps rising, so the smart energy companies keep providing it -- it is just good business. In the end, the blame for increased energy usage goes to consumers and individuals who use more and more petrol and more electricity instead of using less. Until individual people learn to stay at home and unplug some shit, nothing will change.

@@zz449944 because they lied?? And then started a huge ass disinformation campaign which prevented any meaningful policy changes or reforms in the last 40 years?? Did u not watch the show?? Yes, they're a business. But they had an ethical obligation not to fucking lie just so they could line their pockets extra fat. I mean seriously, they're not rich enough?? Their future generations won't even be able to spend all their billions... plus they'll be too busy trying not to burn up.

@@zz449944 and to be fair, I get what you're saying. Personal responsibility IS important. Unfortunately half the damn country doesn't even believe we have a problem yet (I'm not sure globally how people feel) thanks to the lies they've been fed. Look at the past administration's response. A big ole disinformation campaign. It's frustrating.

Sadly you can add the American food supply to the list of corporate profit over peoples health. Don't be deceived by thinking "they wouldn't do that". They sure as hell would and do.

The ~40 people supporting the tobacco industry moved to support the oil industry.(Merchants of Doubt, 2011).

@@jiayangshao4736 In order for me to be a hypocrite I would have had to have made a comment about the oil industry which I did not do read it again. But I'll make a comment now, if we could just get honest information we could make an informed choice about the best way for us to move forward in terms of our energy needs.

Climate change does not cause wildfires that’s false

Untruth

They stopped investing and drilling, and now people are complaining about high oil prices saying they are price gauging because of the tight supply. Isn't this what every anti-oil folk asked for? They go drill green energy faster, then... 😆

You seem highly misinformed. The gas companies have the ability to drill more but they don’t want to because these high prices are great for them. Hence their record breaking profits and that is why they are price gouging.

@@austinadjutant5684 They will always have the ability and if one company out of the many oil companies decides to take advantage of low supply in the global (not just the entitled US) markets, nothing is stopping them from growing faster than the known big oil companies coz they had the courage to produce more when prices are high. Also, can't you remember when oil is too cheap that it actually went negative and the oil industry lost a lot of money due to overinvestment? How about what happened to oil prices during lockdowns that destroyed demand while they still have a lot of supply that they had to stop drilling? Did anybody care about the oil industry? Now every brainless people care coz they are the one losing money and not the oil industry anymore. Be an adult, stop complaining and invest in oil companies if you think oil is gonna go up and stop asking the government for support like a baby that make the US flood the world with printed dollars that creates global inflation...big government is the problem.

@@amielvasco3503 where the hell did you get that they stopped investing and drilling? And yes, they will stop, either when we consumers say enormous gh as we don't want billions to die, or billions die and the demand is no longer there.

Carl Sagan talked about it on the original Cosmos in 1980 for Heaven’s sake. Not a secret at all.

park your car, never drive it. don't heat your house, stop use of all energy. As a person following the science for 40 years we are dead. The climate change 15 years ago. we are ghosts. I strongly believed in "global warming" 40 years ago. that is the reason we know we are ghosts.

ok.........do you set your heat at 68 degrees? do you have the audacity to have air conditioning? if so do you set ur ac at 80 degrees? nope.....no one really cares,,,,,,,so stfu

omg I couldn't contain myself through this whole f***in' show. I'm so pissed I'm here in the comment section looking for solidarity.

@@jenwendy7 Hosed people of the world unite!

The same people saying the world would end in a decade 50 years ago are still going at it today with the same bullshit. You can look at a picture of the Statue of Liberty today and one from when it was first built and see that man-made Climate Change is pure nonsense. The politicians who demand you freak out about Climate Change all live on beachfront property and fly massively polluting jets across the world all day for fun. The oil companies are terrible, corrupt and pollute way too much, but Climate Change alarmism is still bullshit.

Wrong.

Ominous sound tracks and earnest looking question posers. These give the appearance of truth. Good documentary? Not so much.

Look beneath Part 1 on RU-vid for Part 2, and beneath that, Part 3.
