The story of how fossil fuel interests - OPEC, the United States, and fossil fuel lobbyists - deliberately and aggressively acted to sabotage the decision making process at the UN COP climate conferences, and slowed down global climate action.
#TheyKnew that concerted climate action will threaten their polluting business model, and they worked to sabotage it, since before COP1.
The #gas industry has thrown shade on recent findings of indoor #pollution for gas #stoves. But
"Now, newly discovered documents reveal that the American Gas Association was studying the health and indoor pollution risks from gas stoves as far back as the early 1970s — that #TheyKnew much more, at a far earlier date, than has been previously documented."
"It’s no longer a secret that the US oil industry was well aware as early as 1957 that its products threaten the #climate.
Less known is the fact that the #gas utility industry has been engaged in the same kind of deceit. The industry has been gaslighting us by promoting the idea that “#CookingWithGas” is a good thing, despite knowing as far back as 1970 that gas stoves pose a threat to public health and the environment."
