The Union of Concerned Scientists has released a report entitled The Climate Deception Dossiers.

For nearly three decades, many of the world's largest fossil fuel companies have knowingly worked to deceive the public about the realities and risks of climate change.

Their deceptive tactics are now highlighted in this set of seven "deception dossiers"—collections of internal company and trade association documents that have either been leaked to the public, come to light through lawsuits, or been disclosed through Freedom of Information (FOIA) requests.

So now we have some idea of "What fossil fuel companies knew and when they knew it". Full report available here [pdf].

    So, on one side we have politicians. Known to lie whenever their lips move. On the other side we have big business, known to lie whenever there is money involved.

    This doesn't appear to bring us closer to the truth than before.
