2023-09-20 at 12:13 AM UTCHow Exxon tried to twist climate science for profit | New internal documents reported by the Wall Street Journal illustrate exactly why thousands are taking to the street to protest fossil fuels this week.
Two major news items this week illustrate well why people are so fed up with inaction on climate change.
The first is a historic new lawsuit from California, which claims that ExxonMobil and four other oil giants deceived the public by downplaying the climate risks of fossil fuel development, thereby costing the state tens of billions of dollars. The lawsuit, as Amy Westervelt explains masterfully for Drilled, is essentially “a super-case” combining all the arguments of other state lawsuits against Big Oil. It’s a big deal.
The second is a new Wall Street Journal investigation of Exxon, which reveals just how far that cover-up extends. According to never-before-seen documents, the company undermined climate science to protect their bottom line from the 1970s to at least 2015—and specifically tried to twist the science of the IPCC, the world’s leading scientific body on climate change. -

2023-09-20 at 12:52 PM UTCSpeaking of fairytales:
An inside look at the plot to make climate denial mainstreamBelievers say that the United Nations is led by a shadowy group of elites who are trying to create an authoritarian global government, using the World Economic Forum as a cover for their plans. They claim this group is coercing national, regional and local governments to implement climate initiatives and digital technologies as a ploy to eliminate people's human rights and freedoms. They claim climate change is not occurring or, if it is, is not caused by humans burning fossil fuels.
Scientists agree climate change is caused by human activity, primarily the burning of fossil fuels. The United Nations is a democratic coalition of nations; it has no global governing authority and cannot force countries to adopt specific policies. The World Economic Forum is an international organization that aims to promote collaboration between businesses and governments, best known for hosting the annual Davos summit in Switzerland. -

2023-09-20 at 10:44 PM UTCBiden uses executive power to create a New Deal-style American Climate Corps
In an announcement Wednesday, the White House said the program will employ more than 20,000 young adults who will build trails, plant trees, help install solar panels and do other work to boost conservation and help prevent catastrophic wildfires.
The climate corps had been proposed in early versions of the sweeping climate law approved last year but was jettisoned amid strong opposition from Republicans and concerns about cost. -

Over the past two decades, air quality improvements have slowed or been reversed in most of the country, eroding about a quarter of the recent gains, according to a new study in the journal Nature. Some states — Colorado, Montana, New Mexico, Washington and Wyoming — have rolled back 50 percent or more of their progress since 2000. In Oregon and Nevada, wildfire smoke has completely erased their gains.
