Exxon’s new greenwashing ploy
The oil giant claims it can eliminate more than 90 percent of emissions from gas-powered AI facilities. Critics say that’s nonsense.

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!

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.

It appears that the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has, within the past week, scrubbed a large amount of climate change content from its official website, as well as *removed human-caused warming* from the discussion on its "causes of climate change" page.

"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."
Will your next home be a climate lemon?
Efforts to suppress disclosure of grave climate risks in brittle areas cheat buyers and sabotage communities.

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.”

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.
