1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:02,000
Speaker 1: Even though we're using more than way they are used.

2
00:00:02,040 --> 00:00:04,800
Speaker 1: We're at a twenty year low on SOE two emissions.

3
00:00:05,080 --> 00:00:09,040
Speaker 2: This is an oil and gas lobbyist in Arkansas.

4
00:00:09,520 --> 00:00:12,920
Speaker 1: Hey, and that money that we were starting that other

5
00:00:13,000 --> 00:00:15,319
Speaker 1: countries is now going into the US or not.

6
00:00:15,680 --> 00:00:18,440
Speaker 2: And she's not at an industry meeting or a right

7
00:00:18,480 --> 00:00:21,720
Speaker 2: wing climate conference, which.

8
00:00:21,920 --> 00:00:25,280
Speaker 1: In the jobs are will continue to be very important.

9
00:00:25,800 --> 00:00:28,880
Speaker 2: She's actually standing in front of a seventh grade class,

10
00:00:29,280 --> 00:00:36,720
Speaker 2: teaching them about energy.

11
00:00:36,760 --> 00:00:39,159
Speaker 3: We've been hearing for a while now about oil and

12
00:00:39,200 --> 00:00:43,400
Speaker 3: gas companies infiltrating schools, looking for future energy workers, or

13
00:00:43,560 --> 00:00:47,400
Speaker 3: tinkering with science curricula. But over the past several months

14
00:00:47,400 --> 00:00:50,120
Speaker 3: we've been digging into a different sort of industry influence,

15
00:00:51,240 --> 00:00:55,840
Speaker 3: a darker sort. I'm Garden Nor from Earth.

16
00:00:56,120 --> 00:00:59,360
Speaker 2: And I'm Amy Westervelt. In a new miniseries coming later

17
00:00:59,400 --> 00:01:01,959
Speaker 2: this month, Darna and I partnered up to look at

18
00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:05,800
Speaker 2: how the fossil fuel industry has shaped not just science education,

19
00:01:06,200 --> 00:01:10,440
Speaker 2: but social science education. How kids view the economy and

20
00:01:10,520 --> 00:01:13,000
Speaker 2: society and politics.

21
00:01:12,920 --> 00:01:16,920
Speaker 3: How the industry trains future voters and business people and

22
00:01:17,040 --> 00:01:21,880
Speaker 3: activists and journalists to narrow the possibilities for solutions. Starting

23
00:01:21,880 --> 00:01:24,200
Speaker 3: in kindergarten and continuing into college.

24
00:01:25,920 --> 00:01:28,080
Speaker 1: But you have to think about the challenge is too

25
00:01:28,480 --> 00:01:29,800
Speaker 1: and we think two days.

26
00:01:29,840 --> 00:01:32,959
Speaker 4: First of all, you you need to decide to standard

27
00:01:32,959 --> 00:01:37,200
Speaker 4: of value what is most important. Thankfully we don't have

28
00:01:37,280 --> 00:01:40,000
Speaker 4: to choose in this country. We've we're working out on

29
00:01:40,080 --> 00:01:44,880
Speaker 4: a happy medium at this point. But if you had

30
00:01:44,880 --> 00:01:47,720
Speaker 4: to choose, you need to decide is human life the

31
00:01:47,760 --> 00:01:54,040
Speaker 4: most important thing, humors being healthier, wealthier, happier, living longer,

32
00:01:54,960 --> 00:01:57,760
Speaker 4: or is Christine nature more important?

33
00:01:57,800 --> 00:02:00,440
Speaker 1: But we wanna put building buildings with build The new

34
00:02:00,520 --> 00:02:03,720
Speaker 1: nausis stop getting step out of the ground.

35
00:02:03,800 --> 00:02:06,600
Speaker 4: We want to lead it exactly as it is, because

36
00:02:06,840 --> 00:02:09,760
Speaker 4: that would be difficult. Ven just RedANT to ma is Chues.

37
00:02:15,560 --> 00:02:18,960
Speaker 2: And just how much influence this framing has had on

38
00:02:19,120 --> 00:02:22,359
Speaker 2: climate policy and environmental regulations.

39
00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:25,120
Speaker 5: When you take your message and you put it in

40
00:02:25,200 --> 00:02:28,880
Speaker 5: the mouth of someone who is teaching your children, who

41
00:02:28,960 --> 00:02:32,320
Speaker 5: is told you know who children are told to believe

42
00:02:32,560 --> 00:02:36,799
Speaker 5: and trust, it is among the most insidious and among

43
00:02:36,840 --> 00:02:39,760
Speaker 5: the most effective forms of propaganda.

44
00:02:40,080 --> 00:02:43,000
Speaker 6: It's not just that public policy schools are being funded

45
00:02:43,040 --> 00:02:48,440
Speaker 6: by oil companies. Sometimes it's that the programs that are

46
00:02:48,480 --> 00:02:53,880
Speaker 6: focused on climate or environment or sustainability, in particular, those

47
00:02:53,919 --> 00:02:56,600
Speaker 6: are often funded by the oil companies.

48
00:02:57,200 --> 00:03:01,520
Speaker 7: One would say that climate change is the defining issue

49
00:03:01,560 --> 00:03:05,600
Speaker 7: of this century, but in thirty States, climate change doesn't

50
00:03:05,639 --> 00:03:08,480
Speaker 7: show up in any civics class.
