Hilarious for @stanforddoerr to recommend reading @NaomiOreskes' and @ErikMConway's "Merchants of Doubt" while raking in millions a year in fossil-fuel money.
Looking for your next summer read? Here are 17 books recommended by faculty and scholars associated with the Stanford Doerr School of Sustainability: stanford.io/3RFdcuH
Worried about reputation damage from your Big Oil ties? Be like @Stanford/@stanforddoerr and hire a greenwashing expert!
Great reporting in @GuardianUS by @dharnanoor!

All Oil & Gas companies in this report fail to meet climate criteria.
Should @Stanford, @stanforddoerr and @StanfordEnergy really partner with companies that directly oppose their mission?
BREAKING: Despite claiming to be part of the solution, Big Oil and Gas companies are failing to align with the new international climate agreement to phase out fossil fuels. They need a #BigOilRealityCheck oilchange.org/borc
Community groups have spoken out: Stanford should stop taking fossil fuel money.
In the words of @CRCommunities: "Failure to do so will only jeopardize the trust Stanford has built in communities affected by environmental injustices."

Huge news, reported by @dharnanoor in @GuardianUS:
oil companies “establish funded partnerships with academic institutions to enhance their credibility”.
You couldn't find a smokier gun if you tried to.

Great interview with @swaziadam in @Nature; if you're wondering whether to change (part) of your focus to climate change, let this inspire you!

The Health Harms of Fossil Fuel Research Funding
"If the Doerr School accepts funding from the fossil fuel industry without guardrails, history has taught that industry interests will prevail over the mission of the school to solve the climate crisis."

“When [Stanford is] talking about bringing [the fossil fuel industry] into this research space, it undermines the quality and integrity of the research that we’re doing.” — Mallory Harris, Stanford graduate student kqed.org/science/1984864/don…

Announcing the Fossil Free Research Guide!! Do you want to find the fossil fuel ties at your university? This is a great place to start. Thanks to our amazing Research Coordinator @WKattrup for putting this together.

It’s not just oil CEOs.
It takes many actual people, working at many levels, to uphold this catastrophic status quo.
But something is happening.
Activists are calling them out.
And more people are getting uncomfortable with being an accomplice to the destruction of life on Earth.

At least 21 programs @Stanford funded by fossil industry

Two led by authors on Clack Paper (Brandt-Nat. Gas Initiative; Weyant-Energy Modeling Forum)
12 in @stanforddoerr

@billmckibben @howarth_cornell @ProfStrachan
Maybe this is because institutions like the @StanfordWoods and @stanforddoerr let oil companies inform their research and action youtube.com/watch?v=uIiCXHnK…
"The world isn’t taking climate change seriously enough yet," says Sr. Fellow Rob Jackson, co-author on a @WMO report showing a global increase 📈 in fossil fuel CO2 emissions in 2022 compared to 2021.

We must stop letting Big Oil’s influence taint our universities. Students at @CoalitionTrue are calling for the university to dissociate from big oil and commit to real sustainability work. Step it up, @Stanford and @StanfordDoerr. youtube.com/watch?v=uIiCXHnK…

Great video makes clear that Stanford is subcontracting 'sustainability' education to Big Oil.
A 'fireside chat' with the ceo of Exxon.....
Students at @Stanford are calling out hypocrisy for Big Oil's funding of their @stanforddoerr School of Sustainability.
Please share and support them. They might be in trouble.

You can't make this sh*t up:
"@stanforddoerr includes 13 Industry Affiliate Programs. Affiliates include Chevron, Exxon, Aramco, and several other Big Oil companies.
Many of these programs support ongoing discovery and extraction of fossil fuels."

California and @GavinNewsom are suing five oil companies that all donate money to @stanforddoerr.
Which side would @Stanford be on? That of its Big Oil funders, or that of its state's constituents?
