So turns out that a top anti-climate lawsuit group was being funded as part of a 'confidential' oil industry campaign called 'Defend BP'.
@SenWhitehouse told me it's part of a long pattern of 'phony front groups flush with dark money.'

Extracting, cooling, and transporting natural gas accounts for the vast majority of its emissions.
The greenwashing of LNG as a climate solution is outrageous. It’s actual self-delusion.

Important work coming from @caadcoalition!

In the face of extreme weather, Africa’s farmers need facts, not falsehoods. Disinformation is an existential risk, and in his article, @heff_andrew highlights the importance of education, empowerment, and technological intervention to stop the spread. cigionline.org/publications/…

Is one countermovement fighting action on climate change or three?
Turns out there are 3: "the conservative movement, oil and gas industry groups, and electric utilities/mining/heavy industry"..movement is the "interface"
