Three part series The Power of Big Oil looks at the oil industry's effect on climate change. The program will dive deep into the research about climate change and the "many missed opportunities to mitigate the problem," PBS said in a release. The program will air Tuesdays starting April 19 at 10 p.m. and run through May 3.
“As a trusted voice in the science and natural history space, PBS and its member stations have the unique ability to assist in deepening the dialogue about the future of our planet on air, across our digital platforms and in local communities,” said Bill Gardner, VP of multiplatform programming and head of development, PBS. “What happens in one part of the world is relevant to us all, and PBS is committed to airing programs that inform and empower audiences not just during Earth Month, but all year long.”
