He did it again - "#Biden approves #Alaska #gas exports as critics condemn another ‘carbon bomb’ - The Biden administration on Thursday approved exports of liquefied natural gas from the Alaska liquefied natural gas #LNG project, a document showed, prompting criticism from #environmental groups over the approval of another “carbon bomb. The project, for which exports were first approved by the administration of Donald Trump, has been strongly opposed by environmental groups.

Joe Biden’s #climate presidency is flying off the rails,” said Lukas Ross of Friends of the Earth. Ross pointed out this was the second US approval of a “fossil-fuel mega-project” in as many months."

"Big oil on campus: how #US universities are ‘colonized’ by the fossil fuel industry - Students at #Princeton describe unease that #Exxon employee had an office on campus, while dozens of universities have big oil links

The lecturer looked, and sounded, the part. Sporting a pale blue shirt and Princeton University ID badge, he had his own office on campus, a short stroll from the room where several dozen students were gathered to hear him confidently talk about the challenges in moving away from fossil fuels.

But Tim Barckholtz is not a Princeton professor, but rather a senior scientific adviser at ExxonMobil, the oil giant that has done so much to both perpetuate and downplay the climate crisis. Barckholtz, an affable figure who has fronted adverts for Exxon touting its emissions reduction research, spent around six months sitting in and contributing to lectures and research groups, based in his own office space at the elite university.

Asked by a student about the Paris climate agreement, Barckholtz expressed doubt that it could be met as it was too hard to ditch fossil fuels. “I’m not optimistic, I’m going to call it the way I see it,” he said. “The system is just too big to be flipped.”
...
“A few of the students thought it was weird he was in the class and that he then taught the class,” said Claire Kaufman, a second year masters student in public affairs who said she started talking to Barckholtz during one of the first negative emissions technology classes and was “quite shocked” to discover he was an Exxon employee."

"Science Museum sponsorship deal with oil firm included gag clause - [Guaridan] Exclusive: museum in London agreed to take care not to say anything that could damage sponsor Equinor’s reputation
"The Science Museum in London signed a sponsorship contract containing a gagging clause with the Norwegian oil and gas company Equinor, agreeing to take care not to say anything that could damage the firm’s reputation, it can be revealed.

The agreement, a copy of which was obtained by the Guardian and the investigative journalism organisation Point Source, concerned sponsorship of the museum’s current Wonderlab exhibition.

It stated that the Science Museum and its trustees must take reasonable care to “not at any time” during the exhibition term “make any statement or issue any publicity or otherwise be involved in any conduct or matter that may reasonably be foreseen as discrediting or damaging the goodwill or reputation of the sponsor”.

@UncensoredNews @poostain worse, the #IPCC is strongly influenced (if not outright controlled) by the #FossilFuelIndustry

"You are welcome to argue that Australia's state and federal governments (along with the police) are not simply the armed wing of the #FossilFuelIndustry... Write your explanation on a postcard and mail it to your grandchildren"

How criminalizing protests stifles climate justice

Anti-protest legislation is backed by oil and natural gas interests and obscures the violence of the fossil fuel industry.

What if? mitigating #ClimateChange was relatively, practically, easy.

What if? we understand how to restore habitats so they would sequester CO2, therefore, store carbon

What if? there is a way to invest in & construct a circular resource system? & electricity that was powered by #RenewableEnergy

What if? we can prevent climate change from decimating societies

What type? of people would suppress & #greenwash that knowledge
