Their interference in scientific research included the decision to prioritizing profits

The story takes a turn when whistleblowers who emerged from the shadows had decided
to reveal the truth to the world. Their actions ignited a public outcry, legal battles, and a
reckoning for the oil and coal executives who are responsible for the cover-up. Tensions
build as the world races to implement solutions and adapt to the changing climate scenario,
international efforts race to reduce emissions and mitigate the impacts of global warming.
This is a reminder of how corporate interests conflict with the need for transparency, and ethics,
which are needed to safeguard our planet and its future.

suppress the research’s findings, and during the 1950s, the group used their
influence to manipulate public perception and political decisions to protect
the industries profits and so begin the era of climate denial.

coal industrys’ production, a report warned of the consequences of pollution
and its potential impact on climate. Their research forecasted a dark future, a
warning of the environmental crisis waiting in Earth’s atmosphere.

TIROS 1, Launched April 1, 1960, NASA’s first satellite designed to determine if
Earth could be studied from space was TIROS-1. The mission, managed and
operated by NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center, was a spiritual predecessor to to
TIROS 1 (Television and InfraRed Observation Satellite), the first weather satellite,
was designed to test the feasibility of obtaining and using TV cloudcover pictures
from satellites.
The TIROS Program (Television Infrared Observation Satellite) was NASA’s first
experimental step to determine if satellites could be useful in the study of the
Earth. At that time, the effectiveness of satellite observations was still unproven.
Since satellites were a new technology, the TIROS Program also tested various
design issues for spacecraft: instruments, data and operational parameters.
The goal was to improve satellite applications for Earth-bound decisions,
such as “should we evacuate the coast because of the hurricane?”.
The TIROS Program’s first priority was the development of a meteorological
satellite information system. Weather forecasting was deemed the most
promising application of space-based observations. TIROS proved
extremely successful, providing the first accurate weather forecasts based
on data gathered from space. TIROS began continuous coverage of the
Earth’s weather in 1962, and was used by meteorologists worldwide.
The program’s success with many instrument types and orbital
configurations lead to the development of more sophisticated
meteorological observation satellites.
