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 "Julia Child, the natural gas industry’s most famous influencer" vox.com/23941889/julia-child…

How the fossil-fuel lobby weaponized Julia Child’s gas stove

Sorry, the beloved chef’s use of gas cooking was a gas industry sponcon.

It turns out gas stoves have much more in common with cigarettes than cancer-causing chemicals. bit.ly/46ZTgYH

How gas utilities used tobacco tactics to avoid gas stove regulations. My latest for @NPR with editor @neelaeast and documents/research from @rebecca_John1 at CIC. npr.org/2023/10/17/118355160…

How gas utilities used tobacco tactics to avoid gas stove regulations

Gas stoves emit potentially harmful pollutants, but utilities and their trade group avoided regulation with tactics perfected by the tobacco industry to cast doubt on science showing health problems.

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

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. chicago.suntimes.com/2023/7/…

A Wyoming law seeks to force utilities to pursue carbon capture at coal plants, which the utilities say would dramatically increase electricity bills Emails obtained through FOIA show that a coal industry attorney directly edited key sections of the law insideclimatenews.org/news/2…

PR firms that work with polluters are holding us back at a critical moment and legitimizing the fossil fuel industry’s empty promises. We need bold climate action, not deception & delay. 3/3

Fossil fuel companies have to maintain an illusion of sustainability. They pay lawyers, think tanks, and front groups to bury the truth – but it falls to the PR industry to hide the whole mess and give polluters the cover they need. 1/3 #StopPolluterPR

Firms like @EdelmanPR make big climate pledges while raking in millions from fossil fuel clients. Instead of outright denial, PR firms greenwash these polluters by broadcasting their pitiful investments in clean energy. 2/3 #StopPolluterPR

API asked the Congressional leaders to go easy on Russian sanctions, lest it hurt member companies. (Exxon was forced to back out of a $3.2b Rosneft deal after Russia annexed Crimea). BP stock 📉 due to Rosneft. These guys are playing both sides.

Rep. Ro Khanna

We should not subsidize carbon capture if it's used to drill for oil that ends up being carbon positive. My legislation with @RepRaulGrijalva & @RepMikeQuigley will end one of the biggest fossil fuel subsidies & set us on the path to a clean energy economy.
Leah Douglas@leahjdouglas13 Dec 2021
NEW: Rep. Ro Khanna intro'd a bill today that would eliminate 45Q tax credits for using captured carbon for oil recovery. The bill, which he hopes gets into BBBA, reflects a deep divide among lawmakers about where CCS fits in climate policy. My latest: reuters.com/markets/commodit…
