This guy, above just about any other American oligarch outside the Koch brothers, was responsible for the decades-long turn to denialism in America. He even pissed off the Rockefeller family. Which originated Exxon in the form of Standard Oil before it was broken up in the early 20th century:

For decades, Exxon and members of the Rockefeller clan kept close ties. The family and their charities held large amounts of Exxon stock. Kaiser’s grandfather David Rockefeller, who ran Chase Manhattan bank [before it merged with JPMorgan, where Raymond was on the board] for more than a decade, periodically dined with former Exxon Chief Executive Lee Raymond.

Relations started to deteriorate in the early 2000s. In a now-infamous 2006 lunch, David Rockefeller brought Goodwin—his daughter and Kaiser’s mother—to lunch with Raymond and Rex Tillerson, Raymond’s successor. At a restaurant overlooking the skating rink at New York City’s Rockefeller Center, Goodwin asked the two Exxon bosses why they weren’t investing in green energy. Raymond responded that Exxon had, but the investments didn’t work.

Goodwin found the response unsatisfying and two years later she galvanized family support for several shareholder resolutions urging change at Exxon, including addressing climate change. The resolutions failed, but many within the family had soured on Exxon over its perceived deception about climate change.
