Exxon Knew. Did Tyson, Too?: Comparing the Climate Responsibilities of Oil & Gas to Meat & Dairy

The Institute for Practical Ethics welcomes Jennifer Jacquet as the 2025 keynote speaker. Epistemic conditions – what was known and when – often shape our views of responsibility. Using a variety of methods and newly uncovered meat industry documents, environmental scientist Jennifer Jacquet will describe what the United States meat industry knew about climate change, how and when they knew it, and how they responded — and then how that compares to the oil and gas industry. Jacquet will explain how attribution research contributed to our understanding of these two sectors as significant polluters, and illustrate some of the ways the meat and dairy industry influenced public views about climate change. She’ll end with an “alternative history” of what U.S. emissions might have looked like – that is, if civil society efforts to mitigate climate change had been successful.
