Funding research, fighting divestment

"Details about oil majors contributing hundreds of millions of dollars to top universities to build relationships that could help the industry avoid taking climate action were inside thousands of pages of documents unveiled Tuesday by Democrats on the House Oversight and Accountability and the Senate Budget committees.

Of the files released Tuesday, many show the extraordinary lengths energy giants have gone to in order to maintain public support for the oil industry — a major employer that’s also one of the nation’s top corporate climate polluters.

Companies have acknowledged, then flat-out ignored, stark warnings about the fate of the planet in relation to their activities."

I listened to some of it. I heard republican senators john kennedy and ron johnson contribute millions of dollars worth of vile bullshit and gaslighting in just a couple of minutes.
Sick motherf*ckers.

Thinking this is the most impressive article that I have ever read from Politico. Hope they can keep this up.

Senator Whitehouse is a national treasure.

We need to refund universities and free them from corporate influence
