“We have the receipts. We have overwhelming evidence that [the fossil fuel] industry has known since twice my lifetime about the dangers of their products.” Geoffrey Supran to Bernie Sanders

Wild new 'confidential' documents from BP.

It was warned in 2016 that gas-driven climate change could flood all the world's coastal cities and cause 'unprecedented famine.'

Yet BP chose to market gas as a climate solution.

Emily Atkin Geoffrey Supran Sergei A Samoilenko John Kennedy It's pretty telling when a bad faith actor is trying to discredit a scientific expert and the best they can come up with is guilt by association.

It's a meta moment for misinformation researchers when the misleading techniques they study are used on them. In this case, John Kennedy tries to use guilt by association ad hominem attacks on Geoffrey Supran who correctly points out the technique youtu.be/m5KeHvE3NR8

“What’s the Shakespeare line about a ‘rose by any other name?’ This is climate denial by any other name.” - My first take on Big Oil’s climate delay tactics exposed in new docs from Congressional investigation. More to say at the hearing tomorrow, tune in! theguardian.com/us-news/2024/a…

Excellent summary of the years of work Congress has already spent seeking to hold fossil fuel interests accountable for their decades of climate deception.

I look forward to testifying at Wednesday’s hearing and adding to the evidentiary record.

The fossil fuel industry has lied about their role in climate change for far too long.

Sheldon Whitehouse calls a hearing to hold Big Oil companies and their enablers accountable for their deception.

Honored & excited to be testifying to Congress next Wed at Senate Budget Committee Committee's hearing on 'Denial, Disinformation, & Doublespeak: Big Oil’s Evolving Efforts to Avoid Accountability for Climate Change', w/ Rep. Jamie Raskin & Sharon Y. Eubanks. Tune in 9am ET: budget.senate.gov/hearings/denia…

In 2021 Geoffrey Supran & NaomiOreskes published findings that 'ExxonMobil advertisements worked to shift responsibility for global warming away from the fossil fuel industry and onto consumers.'

Now Exxon's CEO just blames the public outright.

'Big oil has had its finger on the pulse of academic climate science for 70 years – for twice my lifetime – and continues to do so to this day' - My take to Guardian US's Oliver Milman on new 'smoking gun' documents unearthed by Rebecca John & DeSmog. theguardian.com/us-news/2024/j…

Dieselgate, Part 2. This time it's Cummings engines in nearly a million Stellantis North America RAM trucks that violated Clean Air Act requirements for a decade. Given the dangerous health effects of particulate pollution, let's be clear: this deliberate & illegal act KILLED THOUSANDS!😡
