From 2004-2019, the Koch brothers built an 'integrated stealth network' of think tanks, media outlets, and academic programs to reshape public opinion. Political scientist Theda Skocpol identified 2007 as the 'turning point' when climate denial was deliberately and rapidly disseminated through conservative media, achieving 'saturation coverage' reaching 30-40% of the US population. Jane Mayer's 'Dark Money' documented how Koch-funded organizations manufactured doubt about climate science. The network accounted for about a quarter of all dark money spending in 2012. Charles Koch's own 1976 paper described plans to 'destroy the statist paradigm.'
