#MissKittyRaw It couldn't be #BigOil, right? It just must be the #Sun murdering us so we can't do anything about it, right? You didn't study #computer stuff & you're letting people scare the shit out of you. It's all manageable with sincerity. That's all that is required. 8th grade report box 2. 👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻

Documents shed light on the earliest-known instance of #ClimateScience funded by the #FossilFuel industry, adding to growing understanding of #BigOil ’s knowledge of #ClimateChange . Fossil fuel industry sponsored climate science in 1954.

February 1, 2024, Rebecca John

Excerpt: "Unknown until now, however, is the fact that Keeling’s earliest research into carbon dioxide across the western U.S. was funded in part by the fossil fuel industry via a private foundation — and that in 1954 this foundation was informed of the potential impact of manmade carbon dioxide emissions on both the climate and human civilization.

"Newly discovered documents affirm that the #automobile and #petroleum industries funded early climate science #Keeling conducted at the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) between 1954 and 1956. Records show that 'oil and auto companies' sponsored the scientist’s research via an organization called the Southern California Air Pollution Foundation, formed in 1953 to tackle Los Angeles’s infamous smog. American Motors, #Chrysler, #Ford, and #GeneralMotors were among 18 automotive companies that gave money to the foundation.

"A 1959 internal U.S. Public Health Service memo also identifies the #AmericanPetroleumInstitute ( #API ) and the #WesternOilAndGasAssociation — the oldest petroleum trade association in the U.S., which is now known as the #WesternStatesPetroleumAssociation — as 'major contributors to the funds of the Air Pollution Foundation.' Its Board of Trustees included top-level representatives from the Southern California Gas Company, the Southern California Edison Co., Chrysler, General Motors, and Union Oil (now #Chevron).

"And from mid-1955, these trustees were also appraised of research projects by a seven-man 'technical advisory committee,' which included a senior official from API as well as scientists from the Richfield Oil Corporation (now #BP ) and #Chrysler.

"With the discovery of these Air Pollution Foundation documents, it is now possible to date the earliest sponsorship of climate science by the fossil fuel industry to 1954, approximately a quarter of a century before Exxon’s internal research program of the late 1970s. These new documents provide important evidence that the fossil fuel industry has been intricately connected to climate science from its earliest beginnings — not only as a driver of the greenhouse effect behind climate change, but also as a contributor to the scientific discoveries that would transform our understanding of humanity’s relationship with the Earth and its atmosphere.

Dude #2: "Nah, dude, like, you could say some gods or something named you king to, like, boss people around. People can't think for themselves, so, like, they'll go along with it."

Dude #1: Wow, like, that's a great idea, dude."

Dude #2: "Don't forget to establish a court and, like, make me your advisor. Can't stand work, neither."

"The #fossilfuel industry only wants this pipeline if it comes as a handout from our governments. But #Canadians, including #Albertans, do not want to pay for another pipeline – especially when the cost estimates range from $35 to $100 billion dollars. There are better things for our governments to do with that money." Time for all #Canadians to speak up. Lean on your MPs to rein in the banker and his #BigOil pals. https://environmentaldefence.ca/2026/07/03/statement-alberta-pipeline-proposal-will-be-a-failure/

@lorimolson Oil money at work? Not! This is the problem of foreign ownership, #BigOil not paying their share, and the #UCP not supporting #municipalities or #Albertans. It won't get better with separation.

In France, the pseudo "center" is waging a war to dismiss idea of rising fascism worldwide Strategically reusing tactics of #bigoil to discredit anything related to #climatechange : the danger are #farleft / #ecoterrorists It would be interesting to investigate how deep such account are sponsored

Exposed: The Oil and Gas Giants Profiting Most From #Israel's #GazaGenocide

"The complicity of international #corporations and governments in fueling Israel's #WarMachine represents the latest chapter in a long history of #FossilFuel companies enabling #genocide and mass atrocities," said one campaigner.

by Brett Wilkins
Nov 14, 2024

"On the fourth day of the United Nations Climate Change Conference, or #COP29, in Azerbaijan, green groups highlighted how fossil fuel companies 'enable and profit from Israel's genocide in Gaza,' continuing 'a long history of the industry's complicity in mass atrocities worldwide.'

"'The fossil fuel industry is culpable in death and destruction around the world, not only through the #ClimateCrisis they cause but through the violence they fuel,' #OilChangeInternational said in a statement Thursday.

"'Every shipment of oil to Israel carries the weight of #Palestinian lives.'

"The group—along with others including #FriendsOfTheEarthPalestine / #PENGON and #TippingPointUK — is seizing the opportunity presented by COP29 to draw attention to an aspect of the Gaza war often overlooked amid the staggering death and destruction wrought by Israel's 13-month onslaught, which a United Nations panel on Thursday said is consistent with the 'characteristics of genocide.'

"'Investor-owned and private #OilCompanies supply 66% of oil to Israel—more than a third of that from major oil companies like #Chevron, #Shell, and #BP — despite genocide warnings from the International Court of Justice [#ICC],' #OilChange said. 'BP is among the top corporate suppliers of oil to Israel. It operates and is the largest owner of the #BTC pipeline, which transports #AzeriOil that is ultimately sent to Israel.'

"The #BTCPipeline runs from #Baku — the #Azeri capital and COP29 host city on the Caspian Sea —t hrough #Azerbaijan, #Georgia, and #Turkey and, according to Oil Change, supplies Israel with 28% of its oil, belying Thursday's claim by Turkish President #RecepTayyipErdoğan that the country has severed all ties with Israel.

"An investigation published in September by #EnergyEmbargoForPalestine showed how oil transported via the BTC pipeline is refined into jet fuel for Israel Defense Forces [#IDF] warplanes.

Oil Change continued:

"BP has also been granted #GasExploration licenses in occupied Palestinian waters. By providing it with fuel, BP enables the Israeli government to commit genocide in Gaza. Chevron operates and partially owns the two largest Israeli-claimed fossil #GasFields, #Tamar and #Leviathan, making it the main international actor extracting fossil gas claimed by Israel in the Mediterranean. In 2022, 70% of Israel's power was generated from fossil gas extracted by #Chevron. Through the millions of dollars it pays Israel for its gas extraction licenses, Chevron is also directly contributing to financing Israel's regime of #genocide, #apartheid, #SettlerColonialism, and #Occupation.

"'The complicity of international corporations and governments in fueling Israel's war machine represents the latest chapter in a long history of fossil fuel companies enabling genocide and mass atrocities,' #MohammedUsrof, a member of the #PalestinianYouth Climate Negotiation Team at COP29 who lost 21 relatives to Israel's onslaught, said in a statement Thursday. 'Every shipment of oil to Israel carries the weight of Palestinian lives.'

"Tipping Point U.K. organizer #SadieDeCost said that 'BP originated as a key enabler of the #BritishEmpire, and continues as one of the top 10 largest #CarbonEmitters in the world.'

"'It operates and is the largest owner of the BTC pipeline, which ships Azeri oil to fuel Israel's genocide in Gaza,' DeCost added. 'BP's historic colonial harms continue through its support of violent regimes. Its emissions are estimated to cause hundreds of billions of dollars of loss and damage. We must shut down BP to end this injustice, and demand climate reparations for impacted communities around the world.'"
