Inside Climate did a nice job summarizing the past 70 years of climate denial by fossil fuel interests, including links to key historical references.  Read it here. They also made this visual, which is helpful.

The best historical treatment of climate denial is still Oreskes, Naomi, and Eric M. Conway. 2010. Merchants of Doubt: How a Handful of Scientists Obscured the Truth on Issues from Tobacco Smoke to Global Warming. New York, NY: Bloomsbury Press. [http://amzn.to/2fm47CJ]
