SNIPPET:
Amid high gas prices and war in recent month, the US's largest
oil and gas companies have seen profits soar. These 20
companies, who received billions in taxpayer dollars during the
coronavirus crisis, are passing newfound profits off to Wall
Street in the form of massive dividend payouts. Eighteen of the
companies reviewed in the report linked below increased their
dividends in the past year. Eleven of the companies increased
their payouts by at least 100%, some from zero, since the first
quarter of 2021. On top of record quarterly dividend payouts,
five of the company's past further profits onto shareholders in
the form of variable dividends.

🚩 An update on the new climate
💰🦖😈 bill
DIR By: AGelbert
Date: August 23, 2022, 2:31 pm
---------------------------------------------------------
August 23, 2022
Collin Rees, Oil Change International info@priceofoil.org to me
HTML https://earthtrack.net/sites/default/files/u10/oilchange%20logo.jpg
Dear Anthony,
This is a different type of email for us — there’s a critical
action to take, but we also want to share our take on the new
“climate bill” signed into law by President Biden last week: The
Inflation Reduction Act (IRA). There’s a lot to unpack, and the
news headlines only tell part of the story.
[b]Here’s the short version:[/b]
The Inflation Reduction Act was signed into law last week,
finalizing a rushed, closed-door negotiation between Senate
Majority Leader Chuck Schumer and Senator Joe Manchin with
essentially no opportunity for input from anyone else. While the
IRA includes some important investments in renewable energy, the
bill embraces a deadly ‘all of the above’ energy strategy and is
riddled with hundreds of billions of dollars in fossil fuel
giveaways and lifelines to the oil, gas, and coal industries.
HTML http://renewablerevolution.createaforum.com/gallery/renewablerevolution/1/3-120818180835-16271224.gif
The IRA massively expands federal subsidies for ‘carbon capture
and storage’ (CCS), an unproven and dangerous technology to
prolong 🦖😈 Big Oil’s 🦍 influence by
capturing the carbon emitted from fossil fuel power plants and
other sources. In reality, the overwhelming majority of that
carbon is used to extract more oil, increasing emissions and
threatening communities. The IRA also legally mandates the
selling-off of millions of federal lands and waters for fossil
fuel production, before any federal lands can be leased for
clean energy development.
HTML https://soberthinking.createaforum.com/gallery/soberthinking/1-040622153109-13672051.gif
Perhaps worst of all, only a small portion of the funds in the
IRA will reach people most in need — a far cry from President
Biden’s professed ‘Justice40’ commitment to spend 40% of climate
spending on impacted communities. These fossil fuel giveaways
will be particularly destructive to Indigenous and Alaska Native
communities, BIPOC communities in the Gulf South, coastal
communities and communities near federal lands — yet none of
these groups were consulted in the legislative process in
negotiating the IRA.
To top it all off, reporting has revealed that in negotiating
the IRA, 😈 Manchin obtained a commitment from 🐍
Schumer to attempt to pass a separate piece of so-called
‘permitting reform’ legislation in September. In reality,
‘permitting reform’ is code for a wishlist of Big Oil’s top
priorities

/>🦖
HTML http://renewablerevolution.createaforum.com/gallery/renewablerevolution/3-130418193910.gif<br
/>— the bill would greenlight the fracked gas Mountain Valley
Pipeline (MVP) by exempting it from necessary permits, gut the
National Environmental Policy Act and other bedrock
environmental laws, and remove safeguards that have protected
environmental justice communities for decades.
Here’s where you come in. The IRA is now law, but there’s still
time to stop this disastrous fossil fuel side deal (the leaked
draft appears to have been written by the American Petroleum
Institute). Join us in urging leaders in Congress like Senator
Chuck Schumer and Speaker Nancy Pelosi to stop this brazen
giveaway to the fossil fuel industry and kill Manchin’s dirty
side deal.
We won’t stop working to halt the worst parts of the Inflation
Reduction Act — it’s more important than ever that we remain
vigilant against dangerous distractions like carbon capture
subsidies. But now is a crucial time to stop Manchin’s fossil
fuel side deal in its tracks. We’ll be developing a plan over
the next several weeks to pressure other members of Congress to
stand up to Senator Manchin and publicly voice their opposition
to these fossil fuel giveaways.
Regardless of what happens in Congress, we won’t stop pressuring
President Biden to declare a climate emergency, accelerate
funding for renewable and just energy systems, and reject new
fossil fuel infrastructure projects.
Click here to urge Congress to reject this dirty side deal and
protect environmental justice communities
HTML https://act.priceofoil.org/sign/stop-dirty-deal/?t=3&akid=45010%2E416661%2EQXJhx9.<br
/>We’ll be in regular contact over the upcoming weeks with
additional actions to pressure Congress and President Biden to
act swiftly to weaken the fossil fuel industry’s stranglehold on
our political system and ensure that Indigenous, BIPOC, and
frontline community voices are leading our energy transition.
Thank you,
Collin Rees

Court and bring it into the 21st century[/b][/center]
SNIPPETS:
In the last four years, my organization, Public Justice, has won
three victories at the U.S. Supreme Court. Two of those
victories were unanimous, and two of them were written by
justices who had been nominated by Republican presidents. So one
might think, given the court’s recent tendency to side with us
in important cases, that everything is just fine. If so, you’d
be wrong.
Instead, our view is that the nation’s highest court has
HTML https://soberthinking.createaforum.com/gallery/soberthinking/1-040622210450-1415528.gif<br
/>veered off the rails in troubling and extreme ways. Far from
acting in a restrained, careful way, the court has recently
issued drastic and extreme opinions that are harmful to American
society. ... ...
... the
HTML https://soberthinking.createaforum.com/gallery/soberthinking/1-080822134118-17091258.gif<br
/>🦖 Court invented a new doctrine (not based in any
serious reading of the text of the Constitution) sharply
limiting the ability of the federal government to protect the
environment, address the climate change crisis or limit
pollution.
And this builds upon other decisions in recent years that
undermine democracy, such as Citizens United v FEC (which paved
the way for billionaires to spend far more of their money on
elections, multiplying their power) and Shelby County v. Holder
(where the court greatly undermined the Voting Rights Act). And
the list goes on.
HTML https://soberthinking.createaforum.com/gallery/soberthinking/1-080422121435.png
With half of the members of the extreme right supermajority on
the Supreme Court having been nominated by a president who had
lost the popular vote by 2.7 million votes and confirmed by
senators who represent well less than half of the voters in the
country, the court’s recent decisions move our country
perilously close to minority rule. Each of the extreme decisions
described above is badly out of touch with the views of the
majority of the American people, and this fact is reflected in
the court’s plummeting public approval rating.
And
HTML https://soberthinking.createaforum.com/gallery/soberthinking/1-010922192452.gifhttps://soberthinking.createaforum.com/gallery/soberthinking/1-040622210450-1415528.gif<br
/>they’re clearly not done yet. ... ...
The court has taken a case which raises the possibility that a
heavily gerrymandered state legislature could overturn a
presidential election 😵 in which a candidate the state
legislative majority disfavors wins the clear majority of the
votes. ... ...
HTML https://soberthinking.createaforum.com/gallery/soberthinking/1-050422133654.gif<br
/>It is now clear that the court badly needs reforming and
modernizing. That’s why we at Public Justice are calling on
Congress to take action. First, the court should be expanded to
13 justices
HTML https://soberthinking.createaforum.com/gallery/soberthinking/1-050422145344-560693.png.<br
/> And second, term limits should be implemented, capping
service
at a maximum of 18 years
HTML https://soberthinking.createaforum.com/gallery/soberthinking/1-050422145344-560693.png.<br
/>... ...
Expanding the court should not be the end of Congress’s work to
modernize our judicial system, however. ... ...
In the past, justices have seemed to struggle to understand such
basic modern concepts as text messaging, social media and other
modern-day devices and issues, despite being asked to make
weighty and consequential decisions about them. Term limits
would also help address the growing problem of justice being
held as a political prisoner based on who happens to be
president when a sitting justice decides to retire or dies.
Absent death, justices increasingly step down when they believe
a president who shares their philosophy will nominate their
replacement. That hardly helps keep the court above the
political fray; indeed, it drops our most important legal body
right in the middle of political hurricanes. That was never
meant to be the case.

a global collaboration of news
outlets strengthening coverage of the climate story.
Despite countless investigations, lawsuits, social shaming, and
regulations dating back decades, the oil and gas industry
remains formidable. After all, it has made consuming its
products seem like a human necessity. It has confused the public
about climate science, bought the eternal gratitude of one of
America’s two main political parties, and repeatedly
out-maneuvered regulatory efforts. And it has done all this, in
part, by thinking ahead and then acting ruthlessly. While the
rest of us were playing checkers, its executives were playing
three-dimensional chess.
Take this brief tour of the industry’s history, and then ask
yourself: Is there any doubt that these companies are now
plotting to keep the profits rolling in, even as mega-hurricanes
and roaring wildfires scream the dangers of the climate
emergency?
The John D. Rockefeller myth
Ida Tarbell is one of the most celebrated investigative
journalists in American history. Long before Bob Woodward and
Carl Bernstein exposed the Watergate scandal, Tarbell’s
reporting broke up the Standard Oil monopoly. In 19 articles
that became a widely read book, History of the Standard Oil
Company, published in 1904, she exposed its unsavory practices.
In 1911, federal regulators used Tarbell’s findings to break
Standard Oil into 33 much smaller companies.

David had slain Goliath. The U.S. government had set a
monopoly-busting standard for future generations. John D.
Rockefeller, Standard Oil’s owner, lost. The good guys won — or
so it seemed.
In fact Rockefeller saw what was coming and ended up profiting —
massively — from the breakup of his company. Rockefeller made
sure to retain significant stock holdings in each of Standard
Oil’s 33 offspring and position them in different parts of the
U.S. where they wouldn’t compete against one another.
Collectively, the 33 offspring went on to make Rockefeller very,
very rich. Indeed, it was the breakup of Standard Oil that
tripled his wealth and made him the wealthiest man in the world.
In 1916, five years after Standard Oil was broken up,
Rockefeller became the world’s first billionaire.
Say it ain’t so, Dr. Seuss!
One of the offspring of Standard Oil was Esso :o (S-O, spelled
out), which later launched one of the most successful
advertising campaigns in history. It did so by relying on the
talents of a young cartoonist who millions would later adore
under his pen name, Dr. Seuss. Decades before authoring the
pro-environment parable The Lorax, Theodore Geisel helped Esso
market “Flit,” a household spray gun that killed mosquitoes.
What Americans weren’t told was that the pesticide DDT made up
5% of each blast of Flit.
When Esso put considerable creative resources behind the Flit
campaign, they were looking years ahead to a time when they
would also successfully market oil-based products. The campaign
ran for 17 years in the 1940s and 1950s, at the time an unheard
length of time for an ad campaign. It taught Esso and other
Standard Oil companies how to sell derivative products (like
plastic and pesticides) that made the company and the brand a
household name in the minds of the public. In its day, “Quick,
Henry, the Flit!” was as ubiquitous as “Got Milk?” is today.
At the time, the public (and even many scientists) didn’t
appreciate the deadly nature of DDT. That didn’t come until the
1962 publication of Rachel Carson’s book Silent Spring
HTML https://bookshop.org/books/silent-spring-anniversary/9780618249060.<br
/>But accepting that DDT was deadly was hard, in part because of
the genius of Geisel, whose wacky characters — strikingly
similar to the figures who would later populate Dr. Seuss books
— energetically extolled Flit’s alleged benefits.
Geisel later said the experience “taught me conciseness and how
to marry pictures with words.” The Flit ad campaign was
incredibly smart and clever marketing. It taught the industry
how to sell a dangerous and unnecessary product as if it were
something useful and even fun.
Years later, ExxonMobil would take that cleverness to new
heights in its advertorials. They weren’t about clever
characters. But they were awfully clever, containing few, if
any, outright lies, but a whole lot of half-truths and
misrepresentations. It was clever enough to convince the New
York Times to run them without labeling them as the
advertisements that they, in fact, were. Their climate
“advertorials” appeared in the op-ed page of the New York Times
and were part of what scholars have called “the longest, regular
(weekly) use of media to influence public and elite opinion in
contemporary America.”
Controlling climate science
Big Oil also saw climate change coming. As abundant
investigative reporting and academic studies
HTML https://gizmodo.com/exxon-acknowledged-climate-change-internally-but-still-1798342694<br
/>have documented, the companies’ own scientists were telling
their executives in the 1970s that burning more oil and other
fossil fuels would overheat the planet
HTML https://gizmodo.com/exxon-predicted-2019-s-ominous-co2-milestone-in-1982-1834748763.<br

Less well known is how oil and gas companies didn’t just lie
about their own research. They also mounted a
HTML http://renewablerevolution.createaforum.com/gallery/renewablerevolution/3-250817135149.gif<br
/>stealth campaign to monitor and influence what the rest of the
scientific community learned and said about climate change.
The companies embedded

/>scientists in universities and made sure they were present at
important conferences. They nominated them to be
HTML http://renewablerevolution.createaforum.com/gallery/renewablerevolution/2/3-010519192319-22081169.jpeg<br
/>contributors to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change,
the U.N. body whose assessments from 1990 onward defined what
the press, public and policymakers thought was true about
climate science. While the IPCC reports, which rely on consensus
science, were sound, Big Oil’s
HTML http://renewablerevolution.createaforum.com/gallery/renewablerevolution/1/3-250718205808.gif<br

/>art of questioning the consensus science in forums where every
word is parsed.
The industry was employing a strategy pioneered by tobacco
companies, but with a twist. Beginning in the 1950s, the tobacco
industry cultivated a sotto voce network of scientists at scores
of American universities and medical schools, whose work it
funded. Some of these scientists were actively engaged in
research to discredit the idea that cigarette smoking was a
health risk, but most of it was more subtle; the industry
supported research on causes of cancer and heart disease other
than tobacco, such as radon, asbestos and diet. It was a form of
misdirection, designed to deflect our attention away from the
harms of tobacco and onto other things. The scheme worked for a
while, but when it was exposed in the 1990s, in part through
lawsuits, the bad publicity largely killed it. What
self-respecting scientist would take tobacco industry money
after that?
The oil and gas industry learned from that mistake and decided
that, instead of working surreptitiously, it would work in the
open. And rather than work primarily with individual scientists
whose work might be of use, it would seek to influence the
direction of the scientific community as a whole. The industry’s
internal scientists continued to do research and publish
peer-reviewed articles, but the industry also openly funded
university collaborations and other researchers. From the late
1970s through the 1980s, Exxon was known both as a climate
research pioneer, and as a generous patron of university
science, supporting student research and fellowships at many
major universities. Its scientists also worked alongside senior
colleagues at NASA, the Department of Energy and other key
institutions, and funded breakfasts, luncheons and other
activities at scientific meetings. Those efforts had the net
effect of creating goodwill and bonds of loyalty. It’s been
effective.
The industry’s scientists may have been operating in good faith,
but their work helped delay public recognition of the scientific
consensus that climate change was unequivocally man-made,
happening now, and very dangerous. The industry’s extensive
presence in the field also gave it early access to cutting edge
research it used to its advantage. Exxon, for example, designed
oil platforms to accommodate more rapid sea-level rise, even as
the company publicly denied that climate change was occurring.
[b]Don’t call it methane, it’s ‘natural gas’[/b]
Methane is an even more powerful greenhouse gas than carbon
dioxide, yet it has received far less attention. One reason is
that the oil and gas industry has positioned methane — which
marketing experts cleverly labeled “natural gas” — as the future
of the energy economy. The industry promotes methane gas as a
“clean” fuel that’s needed to bridge the transition from today’s
carbon economy to tomorrow’s renewable energy era. Some go
further and see gas as a permanent part of the energy landscape:

Except that methane gas isn’t clean. It’s about 80 times more
potent at trapping heat in the atmosphere than carbon dioxide
is.

As recently as a decade ago, many scientists and
environmentalists viewed “natural gas” as a climate hero. The
oil and gas industry’s ad guys encouraged this view by
portraying gas as a coal killer. The

American way of life. Between 2008 and 2019, API spent more than
$750 million on public relations, advertising, and
communications (for both oil and gas interests), an analysis

view gas as clean, even though science shows

transitioning away
HTML https://gizmodo.com/pledges-are-not-plans-world-s-top-methane-hunter-cal-1848005460<br
/>from it. The bottom line is that we can’t solve a problem
caused
by fossil fuels with more fossil fuels. But the industry has
made a lot of us
HTML https://tomdispatch.com/naomi-oreskes-a-green-bridge-to-hell/<br
/>think otherwise.
There’s little chance the oil and gas industry can defeat
renewable energy in the long term. Wind, solar and geothermal,
which are clean and cost-competitive, will eventually dominate
energy markets. Researchers at the University of California,
Berkeley, GridLab and Energy Innovation have found that the U.S.
can achieve 90% clean electricity

/>at no additional cost to consumers.
But the oil and gas industry doesn’t need to win the fight in
the long term. It just needs to win right now so it can keep
developing oil and gas fields that will be in use for decades to
come. To do that, it just has to keep doing what it has done for
the past 25 years: Win today, fight again tomorrow.
A spider’s web of pipelines
Here’s a final example of how the oil and gas industry plans for
the next war even as its adversaries are still fighting the last
one. Almost no one outside of a few law firms, trade groups, and
congressional staff in Washington, DC, knows what the

is or does. But the oil and gas industry
knows and it moved quickly after

/>Donald Trump became president to lay the groundwork for
decades
of future fossil fuel dependency.
HTML http://renewablerevolution.createaforum.com/gallery/renewablerevolution/1/3-120818180835-16271224.gif
FERC has long been a rubber stamp for the oil and gas industry.
The industry proposes gas pipelines, and FERC approves them.
When FERC approves a pipeline, that approval grants the pipeline
eminent domain, which in effect makes the pipeline all but
impossible to stop.

Eminent domain gives a company the legal right to build a
pipeline through landowners’ properties, and there is nothing
they or state or county officials can do about it. A couple of
states have successfully, though temporarily, blocked pipelines
by invoking federal statutes such as the Clean Water Act. But if
those state cases reach the current Supreme Court, the three
justices Trump appointed — Neil Gorsuch, Brett Kavanaugh and Amy
Coney-Barrett — are almost certain to rule in the industry’s
favor.
Oil and gas industry executives seized upon Trump’s arrival in
the White House. In the opening days of his administration,
independent researchers listened in on public trade gatherings
of the executives, who talked about “flooding the zone” at FERC.
The industry planned to submit not just one or two but nearly a
dozen interstate gas pipeline requests. Plotted on a map, the
projected pipelines covered so much of the U.S. that they
resembled a spider’s web.

Once pipelines are in the system, companies can start to build
them, and utility commissioners in every corner of America see
this gas “infrastructure” as a fait accompli. And pipelines are
built to last decades. In fact, if properly maintained, a
pipeline can last forever in principle. This strategy could
allow the oil and gas industry to lock in fossil fuel dependency
for the rest of the century.
In hindsight, it’s clear that oil and gas industry leaders used
outright climate denial when it suited their corporate and
political interests throughout the 1990s. But now that outright
denial is no longer credible, they’ve pivoted from denial to
delay. Industry PR and marketing efforts have shifted massive
resources to a central message that, yes, climate change is
real, but that the necessary changes will require more research
and decades to implement, and above all, more fossil fuels.
Climate delay
HTML https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2021/sep/09/big-oil-delay-tactics-new-climate-science-denial<br
/>is the new climate denial.
Nearly every major oil and gas company now claims that they
accept the science and that they support sensible climate
policies
HTML http://renewablerevolution.createaforum.com/gallery/renewablerevolution/1/3-250718210558.gif.<br
/>But their actions speak louder than words. It’s clear that the
future they want is one that still uses fossil fuels abundantly
— regardless of what the science says. Whether it is selling
deadly pesticides or deadly fossil fuels, they will do what it
takes to keep their products on the market. Now that we’re in a
race to a clean energy future

I think we tend to push that stuff down so that we can get
through our days, because the reality is just too monstrous to
confront, but we have to confront it. We have to. We are really
and truly running out of time here. Yes, nature can heal from
one-off industrial disasters, but when perpetual disaster
becomes the mere price of doing business, and when that
HTML https://soberthinking.createaforum.com/gallery/soberthinking/1-040622202719-1406786.gif<br

As always, we’ve included links in the show notes to this
episode for listeners who want to read more on the topics that
are discussed in the episode. And I want to encourage folks to
do that, because I also don’t want to give the impression that
one two-hour conversation between me and Leo can possibly cover
everything that needs to be covered here, and I didn’t want to
put that impossible burden on Leo, either. I also knew and
understood going into this recording that talking about the day
of the explosion, the chaos on the rig, the deaths of his
brothers and fellow workers, and the traumatic aftermath, all of
that is extremely difficult for Leo. I wanted to give Leo the
space to tell the story through his eyes the way he wanted it to
be told, and I didn’t want to push him for more than he was
willing to give.
So if you’re looking for gory details and a drawn out
play-by-play of the explosion, I’m going to let you know right
now that you’re not going to find those in this conversation.
But I hope and pray that people listen regardless, because
everything Leo says is so important and I am so grateful to him
for talking with me, for honoring his fallen coworkers, and for
speaking the truth. This is his story.
Leo Lindner: My name is Leo Lindner, I live in South Louisiana.
And after a brief stint working at a university, it inspired me
to try to make more money, and I went to work for a mud company
called MI. And I spent 10 years with the company, and spent my
last five years on the Deepwater Horizon, and I was on the rig
the night of. And my career ended after the explosion. I went
out to the DD III to help drill the relief well to try to
actually stop Macondo from leaking. And that’s where I decided I
had had enough, I couldn’t go back, because I saw a lot of the
same faces, same kinds of people on the DD III that were on the
Horizon, good guys, and struggling with the same things those
guys struggled with, and I just couldn’t be a part of it
anymore.
Maximillian Alvarez: Well Leo, it’s such an honor to get a
chance to chat with you, man. I really, really appreciate you
taking time to hop on a call with me. As listeners can hear,
we’ve got a lot to discuss here. We all remember where we were
and what we were feeling when we watched the catastrophe at
Deepwater Horizon. And I genuinely can’t even imagine what it
was like for you and the other folks who were on the rig that
day.
But in a lot of ways, this is still part and parcel of what we
try to do on this show, is to remind people that it was flesh
and blood human beings making that rig work, it was flesh and
blood human beings with lives and backstories and families who
experienced that horrific tragedy, like yourself. And so even
though we’re going to be talking about some extremely heavy and
catastrophic stuff today, I do want to follow our usual Working
People format where we get to know more about you, and we can
talk to you about how you got into doing this work, what it was
like doing that work before, as you said, you couldn’t do it
anymore. And so again, I just really want to thank you for
coming on and being willing to chat with us and speaking out
about this. I genuinely appreciate it.
Leo Lindner: I’ve got to tell you Mr. Alvarez, I really
appreciate you talking to me today.
Maximillian Alvarez: Thank you brother, and that means a lot.
And yeah, you’re a fascinating guy, so I want to get to know
more about you. You said that you [inaudible] –
Leo Lindner: Well, now you set it up, now it’s just going to be
disappointing. [Max laughs] No, just kidding.
Maximillian Alvarez: And did you grow up in Louisiana?
Leo Lindner: My parents were from North Louisiana. My dad’s
actually from Victoria, Texas, they moved there. My grandfather
worked in the oil field, and we moved down South. My father got
a job at a paper mill. So I grew up in Lafourche Parish, went to
Cut Off Elementary, that was the name of the town. And so yeah,
I spent my life in South Louisiana.
Maximillian Alvarez: Now keep in mind you’re talking to a
Southern California boy, so apologies if my questions are really
stupid.
Leo Lindner: [inaudible].
Maximillian Alvarez: Well, when you describe this, are we
talking one of those parishes that you need to get on a boat
through the Bayou to get to? How South Louisiana are we talking
here?
Leo Lindner: Sure, yeah, we walked on the alligators to go to
school. No –
Maximillian Alvarez: [both laugh] I knew it.
Leo Lindner: No, no. Lafourche Parish, it’s a very long parish,
actually, Port Fourchon is at the very tip of it at the Gulf of
Mexico. And it’s very influenced by both shrimping and the oil
field. Those were the two main ways to make a living. But no, no
alligators, no swamp going to school, nothing like that, nothing
that exciting.
Maximillian Alvarez: And what was it like… So how old were you,
and what was it like moving from Texas to Louisiana at that
point?
Leo Lindner: Well it was different because I didn’t have the
accent. The Cajun kids made fun of me because I said dee instead
of dah. But that’s okay. I mean, it was good to grow up down
here. It’s just, I always felt like a little bit of an outsider,
but I think everyone feels that way at some point.
Maximillian Alvarez: Yeah, that’s the great joke of adolescence
and childhood is everyone feels like an outsider when no one’s
on the inside, really.
Well, what did you… I guess paint me a picture here. Did y’all
have a big family? And what was it being a kid in that
environment? Did you have friends whose parents were shrimpers,
and what did you guys do for fun?
Leo Lindner: Oh, yeah. Well we lived in a very rural place, but
it ran like a straight line. But if we walked a few acres west,
we hit the 40 Acre Canal, and it was full of woods. We did
hunting and fishing, that kind of thing. And I grew up with a
set of neighborhood kids that were really cool. I was always
friends with the older kids, really.
But no, growing up in South Louisiana, it was a positive
experience, I suppose. But it was always under this kind of
shadow of… Because people were very poor, even though a few
people had it really good working in the oil field or whatever.
If your dad owned Rouses, which is a big supermarket, you were
okay. If your dad owned a boat company, yeah, you were really
hot. We had a guy like that, he drove to school in a Ferrari, if
you can imagine, in the ’80s, a kid driving school Ferrari. But
his dad owned a boat company.
But for the working class people it was really tough, it was
really tough. The prospects were tough. So the culture here, it
sees itself as very working class, but it’s also got a kind of
mean spiritedness to it, because people are desperate, because
people want to… If you don’t have money, you don’t feel like
you’re a person or whatever. So there’s a kind of conflict
there. The working people don’t feel like they’re comrades, they
don’t feel like they have stuff in common, they feel like
they’re in competition with each other.
Maximillian Alvarez: Yeah, I mean that is all too familiar. I
was smiling when you were talking about it, because that’s
something that I always try to impress upon people when I talk
about growing up in Orange County, California. Everyone knows
the TV shows like The OC and Laguna Beach and stuff. And so when
they come there they’re like, oh, you’re all rich and live in
mansions on the beach? Well not exactly, right? I mean –
Leo Lindner: [laughs] No, those are the ones who get the TV
show, right?

it

headlines around the world and stymied climate policy efforts
for years to come. Only after 1985 when the discovery of ozone
depletion captured worldwide attention was climate change able
to ride its coattails back into serious policy discussions.
SNIPPET 3:
Culprit #2: the fossil fuel industry
🐉🦕🦖
HTML http://renewablerevolution.createaforum.com/gallery/renewablerevolution/3-130418203402.gif
In his unfortunate Prologue, Rich also describes the fossil fuel
industry as “a common boogeyman.” He argues that the fossil fuel
industry didn’t mobilize to kill the 1989 Noordwijk negotiation.
That’s true, because it didn’t have to; had the treaty even
succeeded, it would have just been the very first step in global
efforts to cut carbon pollution.

1990s. They didn’t need to yet. The threat of policy action was

companies started their lying in earnest. 6/
> August 1, 2018
--- End Quote ---
Immediately after the Noordwijk shot came across its bow, the
fossil fuel industry launched a decades-long,
many-million-dollar campaign to undermine public trust of
climate science and support for climate policy. For example, the
Global Climate Coalition (GCC) fossil fuel industry group formed
in 1989. By the time the 1992 Rio Earth Summit rolled around,
these polluter industry organizations began heavily investing in
disinformation campaigns to undermine international and domestic
climate policies. Speaking about the Rio summit, Bush 🦀
sounded like Donald Trump 🦀, saying:
--- Quote ---
> I’m not going to go to the Rio conference and make a bad deal
or be a party to a bad deal.
HTML http://renewablerevolution.createaforum.com/gallery/renewablerevolution/1/3-250718205808.gif
--- End Quote ---
Bill Clinton proposed an energy tax to try and meet the treaty
goals anyway, but the GCC invested $1.8m in a disinformation
campaign, and Congress voted it down. The GCC then spent $13m to
weaken support for the 1997 Kyoto Protocol, and the Senate voted
95-0 to pre-emptively declare its opposition to the treaty.
Since then, Exxon
HTML http://renewablerevolution.createaforum.com/gallery/renewablerevolution/1/3-250718205137.gif<br
/>alone has given $31m to climate-denying organizations.
[move]📢 It’s been three decades since 1989 😠
[/move]
The fossil fuel industry is one exceptionally wealthy,
influential, and powerful ‘boogeyman.’ As Rich notes in his
Epilogue, it’s also been quite successful:
More carbon has been released into the atmosphere since the
final day of the Noordwijk conference, Nov. 7, 1989, than in the
entire history of civilization preceding it
Apparently at a private dinner the night before his piece was
published, Rich described the fossil fuel industry as being
“guilty of crimes against humanity.” It’s a shame that his story
took on such a different tone. As Benjamin Franta, PhD student
in the history of science at Stanford summarized it:
One common mistake in this NYT magazine piece is the idea that
companies like Exxon somehow changed from “good” (doing research
in the 1970s and ‘80s) to “bad” (promoting denial in the ‘90s
and 2000s). Exxon’s own memos show that the purpose of its
research program was to influence regulation, not to solve the
climate problem per se. The industry-organized disinformation
campaign that emerged at the end of the 1980s was in response to
binding policies that were just then being proposed. If such
policies were proposed earlier, it stands to reason that the
industry response would have occurred earlier as well. To say
that industry disinformation isn’t the whole story is to knock
down a straw man: the fact remains that it is a major--and
perhaps the most important--part of the story.
In the alternative universe where the Bush administration didn’t
sabotage the Noordwijk climate treaty, the fossil fuel industry
would still have crippled global climate policies through its
misinformation campaign and by purchasing the Republican Party’s
climate denial complicity. 1989 was a missed opportunity, but
the fossil fuel industry and GOP can’t escape responsibility for
the ensuing three decades of climate failures.
