Climate Denial
Along with other companies in fossil fuel-intensive industries, from 1989-1998 ThyssenKrupp funded prominent Dutch climate denier Frits Böttcher in a propaganda campaign initiated by Shell Oil.
Contributing companies included:
- Agrochemical: Bayer-Monsanto
- Steel: ThyssenKrupp, Tata Steel
Böttcher used their money to set up an international network of climate deniers. His widespread dissemination of climate science denial is considered to have undermined political support for regulatory measures with regard to CO2 reduction throughout the 1990s.[1]
