To add even more background, Eunice Newton Foote discovered the greenhouse effect in 1856. Right there, in the very first scientific paper describing the heat-trapping property of CO2, she predicted global warming. (Other scientists had caught on that atmospheric gases trap heat decades earlier, without being able to know which ones.)
By 1896, Svante Arrhenius had quantified it, actually calculating the increases in temperature due to increases in atmospheric CO2.
The modern petroleum industry appeared around the same time. The oil companies never didn’t know about the connection between oil and climate change.
We have known about climate change since the Industrial Revolution. Since coal was causing it, before oil was the norm.

Paywalled. But I have seen this clipping for years and never seen anybody claim it wasn’t real.
Snopes isn’t paywalled, and neither is the newspaper archive they link to.
Looks like your adblocker sucks. I’ve uBO on Firefox (Android) and I just see the page normally without ads.
Anyway it just gives some nice background and shows that the text was copied from a Popular Mechanics article:

I am also using uBO.
Perhaps you haven’t enabled the same filters or are behind on updates?
