Over 40 years ago, Exxon's top scientists internally warned the company that climate change could lead to "catastrophic" weather events.
Now those fossil-fueled catastrophes are playing out before our eyes.

BIG: Multnomah County, OR, is expanding its climate accountability lawsuit against Big Oil and its enablers to include NW Natural, the regional gas utility.
This is the first time a gas utility has been sued for climate deception — & likely not the last. climateintegrity.org/news/vi…

Despite "green" promises beginning nearly a decade ago, NW Natural Gas continues to pump ever more methane to Oregonians and block efforts to move to clean energy. Higher pollution and profits for the fossil fuel company.

NW Natural told Oregonians it had a new source of clean energy: renewable natural gas. Industry documents obtained by ProPublica reveal how the company has, for years, perpetuated its core fossil fuel business while painting a picture of going green.

“Less we can!” Oregon’s Largest Natural Gas Company Said It Was Going Green. It Sells as Much Fossil Fuel as Before.

You'll be shocked to learn that the largest program in the country pushing "Renewable Natural Gas" was actually a sham designed to block electrification and keep consumers hooked on methane.
Seriously though, great report in @propublica

Companies like ExxonMobil don't want you to know that this summer's brutal heatwave was Brought To You By Big Oil.
So we bought billboards in cities across America to make sure the public knows the truth.

A reminder as BC broils and northwest drought continues that last year oil and gas companies in BC took a record 6 BILLION LITRES of freshwater from lakes and rivers for fracking. Something to think about if you’re facing water restrictions in your hometown.

Trump’s climate change talking points written by the former coal lobbyist who orchestrated the implementation of a coal billionaire’s wishlist to kneecap the EPA — and was then nominated by Trump to lead it.

❌Failing Gas Certification Tech
Over 10 months @Earthworks captured evidence of 23 emissions events at oil + gas wells in CO. Only 1 of those was recorded by industry-operated monitors.
In last year’s report researchers caught 22 pollution events. Industry monitors recorded 0.

🚨NEW REPORT: CertifiedGaslighting.com
Fossil fuel companies feel the heat to tackle the climate crisis + reduce pollution, so they hire third-party “certifiers” claiming to provide evidence of low-emissions gas production.
The truth? Gas certification is #CertifiedGaslighting!
