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].

    Too many ACs in this thread... I am this one (original): https://soylentnews.org/comments.pl?sid=8343&cid=207195#commentwrap [soylentnews.org]

    How would you calculate the average temperature of the moon given distance from the sun?

    We can directly measure it with infrared cameras/telescopes/probes. Traditionally measuring temperature can be done by measuring the solar flux hitting a body combined with the characteristics of the body. Google black body temperature.
    ps, you'd be much more likely to get a response if you logged in as it seems like a waste of time replying to ACs and never know if it is one and the same AC or a series of them.
