A reminder that so-called 'soft' tactics can be just as powerful as lobbying, denial, attacks on science. Brilliant piece by @rebleber. Docs from our latest @ClimateWatchdog investigation

Newly uncovered documents shed more light on the gas industry's long history of using tobacco industry-style tactics to sow doubt about research linking gas stoves and respiratory illness. It's a campaign that continues today: npr.org/2023/10/17/118355160… via @jeffbradynews

A new report out today by @ClimateWatchdog fellow @rebecca_John1 sheds new light on the gas industry’s successful campaign to undermine scientific consensus on gas stove emissions using tobacco tactics. bit.ly/3ZZb8AQ
AGA also continues to reference the studies it sponsored at Battelle Labs in the 1970s (w/o disclosing sponsorship) to maintain its position that there is no definitive evidence that NO2 from gas stoves causes respiratory problems.
You can find the report, “Burning Questions: A history of the gas industry’s campaign to manufacture controversy over the health risks of gas stove emissions,” here: bit.ly/3ZZb8AQ
Thank you…
There is actually a precedent in the tobacco litigation won by DOJ for fraud about dangers of product.

As thousands march in NYC to #EndFossilFuels, @CAgovernor @GavinNewsom tells @dgelles why California is suing Big Oil.
"The climate crisis is a fossil fuel crisis. And these guys have been playing us for fools ... Over the course of 50, 60, 70 years they've been lying to you."

A single incident could unzip a CO2 pipeline for miles, leaving mass asphyxiation and trapped emergency vehicles in its wake.
@JoeBiden had the power to stop these unsafe and unnecessary CCS pipelines.
