This is a thrilling and paradoxical story of how the family that made the world dependent on oil, has funded environmental and climate research since the 1950s, helped shape climate policy measures since the 1980s, and supported climate activism since the 1990s.

The Rockefeller family’s long-standing battle against climate change contains elements of sophisticated propaganda techniques, futurism, and New Age philosophy, aiming at a complete transformation of the whole earth system, including economy, ecology, culture, and humanity itself.

This utopian dream of a perfect world, however, can have serious consequences for the survival of the human species and life as we know it. The Rockefeller Foundation’s stated mission to “promote the well-being of humanity throughout the world” has a dark flipside.
