Here's a piece I wrote two years ago when St Gobain was headline sponsor of Climate Week. Docs show the company downplayed the risks of the toxic PFOA chemicals they were dumping into communities' water. They're still a "gold partner" this year www.exxonknews.org/p/climate-we...

"God forbid that any explosion would happen — we would be a little wiped-out town.” www.exxonknews.org/p/exxons-ris...

After that incident, advocates and pipeline safety experts pushed for updated regulations for carbon dioxide pipelines from the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA). thelensnola.org/2025/09/18/i...

For @thelensnola.bsky.social, @delaneynolan.bsky.social and I dove deep into a CO2 pipeline Exxon wants to build right near communities in St James Parish, La, for carbon capture. A CO2 rupture can be lethal, and federal safety regs have been pulled by Trump thelensnola.org/2025/09/18/i...

With @emdashsanders.bsky.social at ExxonKnews: Exxon is pushing through a CO2 pipeline in Cancer Alley that will run as close as 160 yards from the nearest home.

NEW: CO2 emissions traceable to the world's biggest fossil fuel firms (ExxonMobil, Saudi Aramco, Gazprom, Chevron, etc.) played a substantial role in driving dangerous & deadly heat waves, new research shows Results are esp. relevant for #climatelitigation 🧑‍⚖️ insideclimatenews.org/news/1009202...

House Republicans are trying to bar D.C. from using funds to enforce its consumer protection law against “oil and gas companies for environmental claims.” www.exxonknews.org/p/can-dc-pol...

Just before federal troops descended on the capital, House Republicans quietly dropped language in a must-pass spending bill to "stop the District from implementing its own laws" against Big Oil. www.exxonknews.org/p/can-dc-pol...

NEW: Last week, oil literally rained down on a Black town in rural Louisiana where 60% of folks live in poverty. The company isn’t taking responsibility & the federal + state governments are saying residents have to clean it up themselves. capitalbnews.org/louisiana-oi...

Canadian fossil fuel companies Cenovus and Enbridge face a greenwashing complaint.

Big oil corporations want the Trump EPA to keep the veneer of methane regulation while gutting provisions that require real transparency and accountability (like third party reporting on super emitter events and the methane fee). Great reporting by @emdashsanders.bsky.social:

"The American Petroleum Institute, a trade group for oil and gas companies, told NPR that it 'continues to support a federal role in regulating greenhouse gas emissions.'" API & its members have been using those regs as a defense against climate lawsuits www.npr.org/2025/08/19/n...

Will be interested to see how BP updates the methane emissions section of its "Advocacy hub" page, which a spokesperson told me is undergoing a refresh 👀 The company's emissions are on the rise after ditching its renewable goals, according to its own reports www.reuters.com/business/ene...

Another round of plastics treaty negotiations hamstrung by the search for consensus. "Every day, our oceans and ecosystems and communities are suffering from the consequences of our inability to make decisive and unified actions." @grist.org grist.org/internationa...

Inspector who worked on Mountain Valley pipeline says it was built unsafely. Operator @EQTcorp says feds checked and called MVP safe. What those feds say: We're not telling you anything subscriber.politicopro.com/article/eene...

Great rundown of oil industry lobbying and public deception on methane www.exxonknews.org/p/with-metha...

Great reporting from @emdashsanders.bsky.social highlighting the hypocrisy from the oil & gas industry around methane rules. Industry has publicly claimed to support the rules while working behind-the-scenes to weaken measures that would hold them accountable. www.exxonknews.org/p/with-metha...

Great piece on the current state of play on methane regulations in US by @emdashsanders.bsky.social. After years of foot dragging and obfuscation, oil corps admitted that regulation is necessary to reduce methane pollution. But with Trump in power, hypocrisy ensues www.exxonknews.org/p/with-metha...

The EPA could repeal methane regs entirely -- but what does the oil industry want? Internal docs & public records show Big Oil's strategy on methane: publicly support regulation while fighting to weaken U.S. rules that could stand in for stricter ones abroad. www.exxonknews.org/p/with-metha...

At a time when science denial is everywhere, this former 3M chemist wants people to know how companies manufacture scientific doubt. We spoke about what she's been up to since blowing the whistle for @fastlerner.bsky.social's incredible reporting on 3M last year www.exxonknews.org/p/a-3m-whist...

NEW: i spoke to nine (!) scientists across several disciplines whose work was cited in the new Department of Energy report that downplays the severity of climate change. all of them say their work was misrepresented, cherry picked, and/or lacked context —

“The fossil fuel industry has been taking climate science seriously — at least when it comes to protecting its own operations — for a long time. Major companies including Exxon, Mobil, and Shell began preparing their own infrastructure for big storms and rising seas decades ago, even while…”

EPA will move tomorrow to revoke the endangerment finding, the foundation for all US climate regulations, and emissions limits for cars and trucks. EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin will make the announcement in Indiana. w/ @chemnick.bsky.social subscriber.politicopro.com/article/2025...

Exxon marketed this Louisiana carbon capture project as a climate solution. Now, it will use captured CO2 to drill for more oil. The announcement came days after Trump expanded public subsidies for enhanced oil recovery through carbon capture. www.exxonknews.org/p/exxons-new...

Surprise, surprise: CCS is bad 😠 😔 "Exxon sold carbon capture & storage as a climate solution — but under new Trump tax credits, public funds will be directed toward more oil extraction with less regulation." by @emdashsanders.bsky.social

The ICJ affirmed that countries can be held liable for conduct that contributes to significant climate harm, incl. supporting continued fossil fuel activities "The court said in no uncertain terms that climate impunity is no longer allowed"- Vishal Prasad www.climateinthecourts.com/world-court-...

In January, Trump rescinded safety regulations for CO2 pipelines causing dangerous ruptures, @danad1012.bsky.social and I first reported w/ @levernews.com. Since then, staff cuts at PHMSA have led to a worrisome situation for communities near these pipelines www.exxonknews.org/p/safety-rul...

wrote about the ongoing neverending AI-fossil fuel hype cycle, which we seem doomed to live through for the next few years at least

"We were able to pass a bill that classified natural gas as a clean energy" -- former lobbyist from the Tennessee Gas Association in 2023. As @levernews.com and ExxonKnews reported last month, these ALEC-backed bills are now popping up across the country. www.exxonknews.org/p/state-bill...

Leaked audio from a meeting a month before the Texas floods shows gas industry representatives discussing how to protect themselves from worsening extreme weather. Thrilled to have a byline in HEATED today and work with the legendary @emorwee.bsky.social www.exxonknews.org/p/abbott-say...

Texas politicians have been loudly denying the link between climate change and extreme floods But behind closed doors, the oil companies that fund those politicians have been acknowledging that storms and floods are getting worse—so they can prepare their own infrastructure for what's to come

here's some good news: Supreme Court denies Exxon request to get rid of citizen lawsuits open.substack.com/pub/exxonkne...

I wrote about methane tracking recently. Some groups doing it said they could help fill gaps in federal govt oversight by prompting companies to act voluntarily. others said tracking alone would never be enough www.exxonknews.org/p/methane-tr... one major (Bezos-backed) initiative is now down

Exxon tried to get the Supreme Court to overturn citizens' ability to sue polluters for ongoing environmental harms. It failed, and now has to pay $14 mil for toxic pollution at its Baytown, TX petrochemical complex -- the largest penalty ever from a citizen suit www.exxonknews.org/p/supreme-co...

“green energy shall mean any energy generated by utilizing an energy resource in which the emissions are equivalent to the standard set by pipeline-quality natural gas.” Quite a choice for one of the least reliable power grids in the nation 🔌💡

Starting August 1, Louisiana will consider natural gas, a fossil fuel, as “green energy” and instruct state utilities to use energy generated by hydrocarbons. @emdashsanders.bsky.social @thelensnola.bsky.social thelensnola.org/2025/06/18/l...

Primary every Democrat who is not meeting this moment. Get rid of them all.

uh oh feeling that horrible "hope" other people have once described

GOP attorneys general are pushing for legal immunity for the fossil fuel industry, just like gun manufacturers got in 2005. They're pointing to the gun example as something to emulate. www.eenews.net/articles/gop...

Time for some real talk: @thexylom.com, the only Asian American-run news outlet covering science, climate, and the environment, will run out of funding in July if we don't secure $7,500 by the end of the month. I might lose my job at a time while waiting for a visa extension -- a nightmare scenario.

A Louisiana bill heading to Gov Landry would rebrand gas as "green energy." The bill has ties to a nationwide campaign by dark money groups connected to the gas industry & possibly Entergy. Thrilled to collab w/ @thelensnola.bsky.social @delaneydryfoos.bsky.social thelensnola.org/2025/06/18/l...

Hard to imagine, but Louisiana now has decided to define natural gas as clean energy.

#TheLensNola🔍 A bill on its way to the Governor’s desk—with connections to gas industry allies—could enshrine hydrocarbons as Louisiana’s future. ✍ Emily Sanders, ExxonKnews & @delaneydryfoos.bsky.social Click the 🔗 for the full article! buff.ly/LcoaLU3
