Exxon funded thinktanks to spread climate denial in Latin America, documents reveal

Texas-based fossil fuel company financed Atlas Network in attempt to derail UN-led climate treaty process

Exxon funded rightwing thinktanks to spread climate change denial across Latin America, according to hundreds of previously unpublished documents that reveal a coordinated campaign to make the global south less inclined" to support the UN-led climate treaty process.

The documents, which include copies of the actual cheques Exxon sent, consist of internal documents and years of correspondence between the Texas-based fossil fuel company and Atlas Network, a US-based coalition of more than 500 free-market thinktanks and other partners worldwide.
