Investigative journalist #JaneMayer review from 2019: #Kochland author Christopher Leonard digs up new “evidence of the Kochs’ role in perhaps the earliest known organized conference of climate-change deniers….The meeting, in 1991, was sponsored by the #CatoInstitute, a Washington-based libertarian think tank, which the #Kochs founded & heavily funded for years.”

#Kochland, a warning from history

I don’t think it’s hyperbolic to say, by actively funding climate-change denial, the brother’s Koch put their interests and the profits of their companies above the lives of almost every other person on the planet.

Weirdly I just started listening to Kochland on Audible on the way home.

The American narrator pronounces it “Coke” rather than the German pronunciation, which sounds like “cough” with a slight gargle at the end instead of the ‘fh’ sound.

It vexes me, but I will soldier on, hardy and tolerant sort that I am. (ish)
