A 1977 issue of the company's magazine, Marathon World , published by Marathon Oil Company , has been unearthed.
The article says global temperature rise potentially linked to industrial expansion’ could one day cause “widespread starvation and other social and economic calamities” The article is attributed to several experts including a scientist working for a top US agency.
It would be more than a decade before global heating gained mainstream attention in 1988 following Nasa scientist James Hansen’s testimony.
Marathon Petroleum has so far avoided the historical scrutiny given to companies like Exxon and Shell , which privately studied catastrophic climate risks starting in the 1970s and then led public relations campaigns to undermine the science.
The current Honolulu lawsuit alleges that Marathon contributed to climate obstruction by belonging to industry associations that spent decades trying to convince the public that science linking coal, oil and gas to climate change was shaky and unreliable.
