Hilary Weston Writers’ Trust Prize for Nonfictionfor The Petroleum Papers: Inside the Far-Right Conspiracy to Cover Up Climate Change
Jury Citation
“In The Petroleum Papers, Geoff Dembecki shows us how the petroleum industry has known about the risks to the climate for more than sixty years. This is a book that connects the dots between the industry, politicians, lobbyists, fake grassroots groups, media, and corrupted think tanks. Basing his arguments on grounded research and using clear, accessible prose, Dembicki explains the players and the game. The stakes are the planet itself.”
