The Case Against Oil
To coincide with COP28, the two-part arte documentary (originally from PBS Frontline/BBC under the title "Big Oil vs. The World" / "The Power of Big Oil") shows how oil companies and politicians have, for decades, sowed doubt about the causes of climate change and obstructed necessary countermeasures. In light of the growing threat of natural disasters, heat waves, and floods, the film examines the precise reasons for this long-standing obstruction and questions the responsibility of powerful oil companies like ExxonMobil.

As the climate threat intensifies and the IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change) attributes it primarily to human activities, the powerful oil lobby, led in part by Exxon Mobil, is deploying a formidable strategy to sow doubt about its origin and block any policy aimed at reducing it.
