The Great Methane Heist: A true crime climate story
New podcast from The Methane Wars on how a disinformation campaign revealed millions in funding to influence climate policies around Big Ag in South America.
Two years ago, a disinformation campaign about a NASA study led me to trace millions of dollars from Big Ag in the United States, a denialist organization founded by a former Shell official, meetings and public money in Uruguay's government tower, luxury hotels in Paraguay, and a coordinated plan with support of the giants like JBS to change how the impact of livestock farming on climate change in South America is measured.
The Great Methane Heist: A true crime climate story is part of The Methane Wars series by Consenso & Climate Tracker Latam with the support from the Bertha Challenge 2025.
Directed by: Nicolás Granada.
Editing and host: Laurence Blair
