The HBO investigative series Vice airs a new show devoted to climate change on Friday, Feb. 24. “Almost overnight the most powerful political entity in the world, the executive and legislative branches of the U.S. government are now led by climate change deniers, leaving America as the sole outlier in the developed world,” says VICE founder and CEO Shane Smith, speaking of the election of Donald Trump and a Republican-held Congress.
Smith traces the money trail to reveal the economic cost of denial, from Exxon Mobile’s decades-long cover-up of climate science to the appointment of prominent climate deniers to Trump’s cabinet.
The show airs Friday, Feb. 24 at 11 PM-midnight ET.
