It’s important to remember the oil the U.S. is stealing in Venezuela like the oil stolen from Iraq is solely for the big oil corporations NOT Americans. The U.S. has become a military nation serving the needs of transnational banks, oil, & foreign nations like UAE, Israel, Saudi Arabia, Russia.

You are not going to believe this but: ExxonMobil is lying! "We are seeing an example of the great greenwashing that [carbon capture] is, and people jumping on that bandwagon.”

"The urgency of the climate demands mandatory measures. It is time for a binding agreement for methane, starting in the oil and gas sector... Despite many past promises and pledges, methane emissions from the energy sector continue to grow" - Mia Mottley, Prime Minister of Barbados

Congratulations to BP and incoming CEO Meg O’Neill for championing gender equality by showing that women can also lead mass-murder for profit at the largest scale.

Who could possibly have anticipated that paying back Big Oil's political bribe by cancelling a bunch of clean energy projects at a time of increasing demand would drive up energy prices?!? Welp, at least continuing fossil fuel pollution doesn't drive up a bunch of other crippling costs for us, too!

wow it's been super rainy here in the PNW but that's "normal" - let's check on how it's going in Asia rn 👀 🌧️ 🌊 🏊

"If you don’t worry about it now, it’s too late later on." "We are passing on extremely grave problems for our children when the time to solve the problems… is now." "The overall picture is, I think, quite clear and quite widely understood and accepted." - Carl Sagan to congress, December 10, 1985

Not the word we would have gone with @apnews.com.

Three of the five worst harvests on record have now occurred since 2020. You can only pick one: Energy from fossil fuels instead of the sun OR Food.

The US government is an arm of Big Oil. Anyone who takes fossil fuel money (Trump, every Republican, many Democrats) works for fossil fuel profits, which only exist at your expense. These are the only people with the power to stop pollution and protect you. Which is why polluters bought them.

"Denialism costs society as a whole, not just homebuyers. When owners of brittle assets refuse to acknowledge risks, and badger those who identify risks into silence — as has been going on for years — they sabotage the ability of our governments to plan rationally to ruggedize against those risks."

100% real quote from Exxon's assistant general counsel on why Big Oil is trying to block lawsuits to make polluters pay for the costs of their pollution: “I didn’t just move my family to Texas from the East Coast to have a bunch of activists and ambitious politicians bankrupt the company.”

Coming early next year! Our first full length doc “is going out into the world at what feels like exactly the right moment, especially during this time where we need to question the structures we live within, and collectively work to reimagine our paths forward.” - Ryan Lough

Problem solved!

Probably fine. Don’t Germans suck at science? What’s that? Einstein was German? Key word is “was.” Cause once he tasted that American livin’ he weren’t never going back! No, I won’t put my shirt back on.

For Bandcamp Friday, a look back at this cool little interview/spotlight from @yellowdotstudios.bsky.social on our climate crisis concept album - if my opinion means anything, I think it’s the best thing I’ve ever written. Get the full project here: guanteandbigcats.bandcamp.com/album/all-dr...

Oh yeah, let's bring back the 1970s. Rivers on fire! Oil slicks around the Statue of Liberty! Because there's no way to put a wood panel on a station wagon that doesn't spew carbon...🙄

As the consumerism machine kicks into high gear for the holiday season, we are excited to announce that You Need This, our first feature length documentary from director Ryan Lough, is coming to screens near you soon thanks to Grasshopper Film.

The new American dream: Buy a house, make it a home, save for the future, lose it all to a predictable climate disaster you weren't warned about because damage from Big Oil's pollution is now hurting real estate agent commissions!

You are, right now, paying Big Oil's $900 annual pollution tax, in the form of higher home insurance, higher health insurance, and higher electric bills for more air conditioning. These costs disproportionately burden the poor and will keep rising as long as the fossil fuel industry exists.

The weight of the climate crisis and all of its damage can be... a lot to process. Especially this time of year. Our friends at Unthinkable built an amazing resource hub to help navigate it all. Check it out and share with someone who needs it: www.unthinkable.earth/resource-hub

"before the letter showed up on the President’s desk, [Christine Todd Whitman] had caught Cheney printing out the letter on the White House printer." - @ghostpanther.bsky.social with a crazy story of about how Dick Cheney derailed climate action in the W. Bush Administration.

Friendly reminder; anyone not treating climate collapse as an immediate threat of unimaginable scale and violence should be ignored, fired and/or voted out. The creeps and duds who occupy our government, corp news media and boardrooms need to go FAST.

In fairness, as the world's #1 funder of fossil fuels, JPMorgan Chase had already made it abundantly clear that they are totally cool with screwing kids.

Meet the new devil: Plastic Big Oil knows its days are numbered as a source of inefficient, dirty, expensive energy. So now it's betting we'll sell our souls for plastic, which is "cheap" because Big Oil doesn't pay the massive costs to our bodies, health, land, water, air, and (still) climate.

The American Petroleum Institute is running a "seven-figure ad campaign featuring real landmen" on Paramount+ and CBS to capitalize on Landman's gusher of "misleading nonsense." The latest in the long history of Big Oil weaponizing culture and entertainment to bury us in their cataclysmic bullshit:

"T Brand Studio’s creation of that algae advertisement was not mentioned in the [New York] Times’ own coverage of Exxon’s other algae ads... 'Here then, we have evidence that the Times can be bought so that its branded messages are, indeed, meant to compete against its news agenda,' Amazeen writes."

One of the guys who saw the housing collapse coming has been “looking up” at climate collapse, too: In a 2016 conversation about making The Big Short, Adam McKay @ghostpanther.bsky.social, shared how Brad Pitt's real-life character "Ben Rickert" "scared the crap out of me."

The Philippines have extended a "state of national calamity" FOR A FULL YEAR after Fung-wong hit just 5 days after Typhoon Kalmaegi, which killed 224 and left 135 missing. Super-typhoons in the Philippines have doubled since 2000. Thanks for blocking clean energy for the last 60 years, Exxon!

Today is the 60th(!) anniversary of the first public report on the dangers of fossil fuel pollution. What happened? A whole lot of fossil fuel bullsh*t and corruption in service of a whole lot of nothing. All while pollution and warming escalated far beyond what scientist predicted in 1965.

Yes, it's a moral failure to allow fossil fuel pollution and fail to switch to clean energy. And a criminal failure b/c it is enabled by disinformation, fraud, and negligence. And a financial failure b/c WE are paying TRILLIONS in damage so fossil fuel companies can make billions in profits. 💸💸💸

This is your weather on fossil fuel pollution. And it's costing you much more than you realize. @climatechris.bsky.social breaks it down:

It is amazing that 60 years ago, scientists were so crystal clear that burning fossil fuels was raising Earth's temperature. And yet thanks to Big Oil's decades of lies, today 40% in the US still don't believe global warming is human-caused or settled science, and 30% don't think it's happening!

Nov 5, 1965: The #1 song was the Beatles "Yesterday," and the public was first warned about burning fossil fuel. We haven't done sh*t to stop rising pollution and temperature from causing increasing catastrophe, but "Yesterday" is the most covered song of all time, so at least we still have that!

War criminal 🤝 climate criminal. The catastrophic legacy of Dick Cheney's Halliburton Loophole and the US fracking boom it ushered in: 🧵
