So turns out that a top anti-climate lawsuit group was being funded as part of a 'confidential' oil industry campaign called 'Defend BP'.
@SenWhitehouse told me it's part of a long pattern of 'phony front groups flush with dark money.'

Extracting, cooling, and transporting natural gas accounts for the vast majority of its emissions.
The greenwashing of LNG as a climate solution is outrageous. It’s actual self-delusion.

Nothing to see here -- just an internal report by Shell from 1989 precisely predicting the "violent weather" and "deluges" that just destroyed half of Appalachia, and summing up expected climate chaos with the comment, "Civilisation could prove a fragile thing."

Is one countermovement fighting action on climate change or three?
Turns out there are 3: "the conservative movement, oil and gas industry groups, and electric utilities/mining/heavy industry"..movement is the "interface"

The best reporting on our major new volume about Climate Obstruction Across Europe. Check it out and pass it on!
📢NEW: When it comes to climate inaction, our media and the IPCC have been trying to tell the story of Star Wars without Darth Vader. A new book shows how this approach is making fools of us all: climatelaundry.substack.com/…
ALT An image of Earth taken from space, over which is projected the unmistakable shape of Dark Vader, in whose silhouette is reflected a dark and burning oil refinery.

We wonder why the world is boiling.
There are currently 123 climate deniers in the 118th Congress who have received over $52M in career fossil fuel contributions. It's time to hold these lawmakers accountable for their allegiance to Big Oil & demand policies that prioritize climate action.

It wasn't just Exxon and Shell tracking climate science decades ago.
I found a 1977 company mag from Marathon Oil predicting the climate crisis could cause 'widespread starvation.'
Marathon is now largest oil refiner in US.

🚨Advertising giant Havas has lost its coveted B-Corp status after signing a contract to work with Shell oil. @cleancreatives asked B Lab to investigate after Havas became Shell's lead agency last year. @DeSmog has the details:

Indeed— at the same time I noted that a Trump administration would set things back greatly, since it would platform the misinformation that is already out there and could use federal agencies as roadblocks.
Wind power surpassed coal in electricity generation this Spring, @NBCNews reports.
CSSN Scholar @JoshuaBasseches explains that despite #misinformation campaigns, offshore wind will likely continue to gain momentum as it continues to outperform coal. nbcnews.to/3zH7u5r

It's great to see my dossier of oil and gas trade associations lobbying against solar, wind and EVs since 1967 is now published and a resource available to all

💥A NEW report from @InfluenceMap identifies the misleading narratives that the oil & gas industry associations have been using for decades in a systematic effort to oppose, weaken and delay the energy transition.
