Big Oil knew monster storms were coming. We have the receipts.
Internal documents over the last 45 years reveal the fossil fuel industry has long known their products would supercharge extreme weather. From Arielle Samuelson, via #HEATED

Adding this to the thread from #HEATED newsletter. No, DeSantis alone didn’t cause Milton.

But YES! all the deny-and-delay politicians that the #OilyBoys have bought since the 1970s did & still do have a big hand in it. We knew enough in the 1970s to begin phasing out fossil fuels. We knew and #TheyKnew. #ClimateAction #ClimateActionNow @emorwee

HEATED · Milton is a monster. Elected leaders are to blame.By Kathy Baughman McLeod

Good reporting from Emily Atkin @emorwee and Arielle Samuelson via their excellent #HEATED newsletter:

Big Oil is quietly paying state legal officials to kill climate litigation
Honolulu's climate lawsuit is an existential threat to Big Oil. So they’re buying Republican attorneys general to defend them in court.

Continued thread

#ClimateDiary just adding this to above: turns out Biden's LNG ruling was not as great as I thought it was. It just put a temporary pause on granting Department of Energy approvals for proposed new LNG export facilities. This is still important, reducing future greenhouse gas emissions equal to 317 coal plants, but not as significant as both proponents and critics have made it out to be.

Here a good assessment by Emily Atkin in #Heated

HEATED · Understanding Biden's LNG decisionBy Emily Atkin

I’m a fan of HEATED, but this article (heated.world/p/heres-how-much-) got under my skin for its unbalanced reporting.

Yes, some Dems—both current and former office holders—are tainted with petro money. But every article that covers the corruption of our politics with fossil fuel funds needs to point out #gop politicians get a lot more oil money.

Shame all politicians who accept fossil $$, in proportion to the scale of the problem. #OilyBoys #BigOil #uspol #HEATED
