Multimillonarios se esconden detrás de una red de grupos “independientes”, que manipulan la política en su favor.

El Guardian reveló la semana pasada que dos organizaciones secretas que trabajan para los multimillonarios estadounidenses han gastado $ 118 millones para asegurar que no se toman medidas para evitar el cambio climático causados por el hombre (1).
