It’s just like the fossil fuel industry hiding the climate impact since the 60s.

The title makes it sound like everyone's been in on it for decades, but obviously most within the industry itself have also been kept in the dark by a few of these groups.
That's not how these things work. I worked in a field adjacent to the oil industry for a while, and a lot of the shady shit the industry did were pretty much "open secrets" that would be discussed in informal settings.
Of course nobody will corroborate anything because they don't want to bite the hand that feeds, and most of the stuff you hear is second hand info anyways. If you started digging, you'd get blackballed pretty quickly.
