The Worst Koch-Funded Lies About Climate Change in 90 Seconds

onOct 29, 2014 @ 16:00 PDT

The Koch brothers have spent far more than even ExxonMobil to spread doubt and misinformation about the 97% scientific consensus on climate change in recent years — over $67 million on climate denial, in fact.
