  1. #BigOil firms knew of dire effects of #FossilFuels as early as 1950s, memos show

    "Major oil companies, including #Shell and precursors to energy giants #Chevron, #ExxonMobil and #BP, were alerted about the planet-warming effects of fossil fuels as early as 1954, newly unearthed documents show.

    The warning, from the head of an industry-created group known as the Air Pollution Foundation, was revealed by Climate Investigations Center and published Tuesday by the climate website DeSmog. It represents what may be the earliest instance of big oil being informed of the potentially dire consequences of its products.

    "'Every time there’s a push for #ClimateAction, [we see] fossil fuel companies downplay and deny the harms of burning fossil fuels,' said Rebecca John, a researcher at the Climate Investigations Center who uncovered the historic memos. 'Now we have evidence they were doing this way back in the 50s during these really early attempts to crack down on sources of pollution.'"

    "[W]hat if we were not in a #ClimateCrisis after all, and trillions of dollars in planned tax credits and #GreenEnergy expenditures are a misuse of taxpayer resources?

    "New York University professor #StevenKoonin has presented data in his bestselling book, 'Unsettled,' to show that the science is not as settled as many politicians [???] would have us believe.

    "Koonin is a respected academic physicist. He was former undersecretary for science at the U.S. Department of Energy under President Barack Obama when Hillary Clinton was secretary of state. His portfolio included the climate research program and energy technology. He has a bachelor of science in physics from Caltech and a doctorate in theoretical physics from MIT. Koonin taught for 30 years at Caltech and has published 200 peer-reviewed scientific papers."

  7. TPTB love to tell us to eat vegan or drive less or stop using #incandescent light bulbs, when the BIG PROBLEM is being caused by #BigOil and #BigGas!

    #Methane is a more potent polluter than #CO2 - here’s how energy firms can help contain it

    Oct 26, 2021

    "Methane is a #GreenhouseGas that’s 80 times more effective at trapping heat in the atmosphere than carbon dioxide over a 20-year period. It is estimated to account for 30% of the rise in global temperatures."
