'Prove' it the same way you 'prove' the cigarette companies campaign.
Follow the money. See where the funding of these FUD groups comes from.

Remember, the oil companies FUD campaign doesn't have to 'prove'
anything. All it is intended to do is create sufficient confusion that
no steps will be taken by government to combat global warming that
adversely affect the oil companies profits. This is only a stopgap
campaign. Once the oil companies are ready to take over the renewable
energy industries (or the oil runs out) the FUD campaign will stop and
suddenly everyone will be spending on renewable energy systems. It
will be a remarkable turnaround.
