Newly uncovered documents shed more light on the gas industry's long history of using tobacco industry-style tactics to sow doubt about research linking gas stoves and respiratory illness. It's a campaign that continues today: npr.org/2023/10/17/118355160… via @jeffbradynews

AGA also continues to reference the studies it sponsored at Battelle Labs in the 1970s (w/o disclosing sponsorship) to maintain its position that there is no definitive evidence that NO2 from gas stoves causes respiratory problems.

As thousands march in NYC to #EndFossilFuels, @CAgovernor @GavinNewsom tells @dgelles why California is suing Big Oil. "The climate crisis is a fossil fuel crisis. And these guys have been playing us for fools ... Over the course of 50, 60, 70 years they've been lying to you."
