Increasingly sophisticated fossil fuel PR campaigns are making climate disinfo more difficult for journalists and the public to spot. This explainer looks at 5 of the industry’s go-to disinfo tactics. By Amy Westervelt and Kyle Pope for The Guardian… theguardian.com/us-news/2024/a…

The same month richard horton was assured by @theLancet publisher #Elsevier that it was moving away from serving oil & gas, it joined an industry group founded by #bigOil to make fossil fuel expansion more profitable. Who's in this group?... 1/🧵

Tough-minded editorial in ⁦Columbia Daily Spectator⁩ — very critical of administration— represents the views of the majority of the student newspaper’s staff and is worth your read columbiaspectator.com/opinion/2024/0…

As a reminder, in the US you do not have to 'show papers' to walk down the street. Straight up Nazi tactics.

By me: CO2 pipeline leak in Sulphur, Louisiana exposes carbon capture safety gaps theguardian.com/us-news/2024/a…

'For $5 million dollars, Louisiana’s flagship university will let an oil company help choose which faculty research projects move forward. Or, for $100,000, a corporation can participate in a research study, with “robust” reviewing powers...'

It was a full house for the Perugia #ijf24 climate reporting / engaging audiences panel with Amy Westervelt Anna Bressanin & Dr Adam Levy (thank you, Anna, for putting it together!)

The Food and Agriculture Organization misused my research to publish findings with a pro-meat bias ⚠️

Africans were accused of being irrational when they said they didn’t trust this man.

New LBNL study finds that even if every other source of GHG emissions fell to zero tomorrow, on current growth rates, 'plastic production alone would completely consume the global carbon budget as early as 2060 and no later than 2083.' energyanalysis.lbl.gov/publications/c…

Giving us 15 minutes to pack up and leave from our housing is seriously twisted. I am not surprised at all — I am glad administration is finally showing their face to the general student body, because student organizers have known from the start how evil these administrators are.
