Big oil grilled by Congress

World Business Report

Available for over a year

Oil companies are accused of misleading the public about climate change and the companies say they hope to highlight their recent efforts on the issue. We hear from the BBC's Samira Hussain, who's following the hearing from New York. Plus, following Facebook's name change to Meta, we get analysis from Marketplace's Kimberly Adams. And the government in Beijing is calling a halt to Chinese cities' race to the heavens by imposing height limits for sky scrapers. We hear from Sherry Fei Ju, a business reporter in Beijing. And we'll hear how the changing climate is causing problems - and creating opportunities - for Europe's wine makers. Picture of an oil well in Ohio. Picture Credit: Getty Images
