The Power of Big Oil – Part 3: Delay

EN · STATUS: [ STREAMING ]

The third and final installment of FRONTLINE's series on the fossil fuel industry's response to climate change turns to the present day, after two earlier episodes traced decades of denial and disinformation from the 1980s through the 2000s. This chapter follows the industry's shift in strategy from outright denial to delay, tracking pledges of net-zero targets and investment in renewables alongside continued lobbying against binding regulation. Reporters and researchers examine methane leaks from oil and gas operations, using aerial and ground-level monitoring to show gaps between corporate climate promises and actual emissions. Interviews with scientists, former industry insiders, and policy figures lay out how companies have used the language of transition while continuing to expand fossil fuel production. The film closes the trilogy by asking whether the industry's current posture represents genuine change or a more sophisticated version of the same delay tactics documented in the earlier episodes, set against the urgency of a rapidly narrowing window to curb emissions.
