The Petroleum Papers: Inside the Far-Right Conspiracy to Cover Up Climate Change by Geoff Dembicki is a compelling exposé that uncovers the intricate web of power, profit, and politics fueling the climate crisis. Renowned as "essential" by The Washington Post, this eye-opening investigation urges readers to rethink the narratives surrounding our environmental future.
This meticulously researched work reveals how influential oil executives have systematically ignored critical warnings about fossil fuel consumption dating back to 1959. Instead of prioritizing sustainability, they chose to amplify the Alberta oil sands—one of the most destructive fossil fuel sources on the planet.
Through a treasure trove of confidential industry documents, Dembicki unveils a vast conspiracy involving major corporations such as Exxon, Koch Industries, and Shell, all aimed at preserving their profits at the cost of our environment. Key features of The Petroleum Papers include:
Dembicki’s thorough examination of the corporate and political forces at play makes The Petroleum Papers not just a historical account but a rallying cry for immediate action. This book is essential for anyone seeking a deeper understanding of the roots of climate change and the ongoing struggle for a sustainable future.

Sherlock & Pages is a little bookshop with a big heart. We are based in Frome, Somerset, England and curate lists of books in the areas we are passionate about – landscape, nature, history, and heritage. In short, the conservation of all we’ve inherited and all we are responsible to pass on. We aim to inspire and be inspired, to form a literary culture of care and passion about this precious planet we call home.
This is a shop where you might find something you haven’t seen before, and we like to think we’ve got something for everyone. We choose each of our books with care and for a reason. This is because our physical store is small but beautifully formed, holding only around 1200 titles at any one time. We try and recreate the feel of the shop wherever we are online, to reflect our niche categories and personality.
We have an active social media presence and aim to share our story with all our friends. The long-term goal is to build a hub for the books and writers we believe in. Who knows where our adventure will lead but by supporting Sherlock & Pages you’re helping us to add a further layer of magic to our little corner of the world. If you haven’t visited our physical store, one day you might just make a literary pilgrimage down to Somerset.
Our tagline is ‘Long Live the Hedgerows’ and our symbol a hibernating dormouse. If you want to support an independent with a unique character and which will share stories with you for years to come, then choose Sherlock & Pages. The world needs bookshops with soul, for they are ‘citadels of light.’
