The Killer #CEOs of #BigOil

Their fortunes are the result of poisoning you, me, our children and grandchildren, every other living thing on Earth, and destroying the temperature stability of our atmosphere. This week it's horrifying to look out and see the world they are creating for the rest of us.

"#PublicCitizen would like you to know that there are killers among us.

"They wear $2,000 suits and travel in #PrivateJets, unbothered by the TSA or the teeming masses. Their children attend the finest universities in the world, and they vacation on private islands and yachts. Many 'earn' more in a day than most Americans take home in a year; their positions ensure their heirs will never have to work a day in their lives.

"Their fortunes are the result of poisoning you, me, our children and grandchildren, every other living thing on Earth, and destroying the temperature stability of our atmosphere. This week they’re arguably responsible, in part, for billions of dollars in losses, numerous deaths, and thousands of shattered lives in Southern California."

#OilRefineries release lots of water pollution near communities of color, data show

by Rebecca Hersher, January 26, 2023 4:38 PM ET

Most of the pollution is happening near communities of color

"In the #USA, people with less power have consistently been exposed to more pollution, whether it's excess #AirPollution from #highways and #factories, drinking water #contamination, exposure to #lead paint or polluted #lakes and #rivers.

"That trend shows up clearly in the new report, which finds that the majority of the worst-#polluting refineries are located near communities that have lower-than-average #income and a higher-than-average proportion of #NonWhite residents.

"A further NPR analysis of the data finds even more stark inequities: some types of water pollution are concentrated overwhelmingly in communities where people of color live.

"For example, about three-quarters of the nitrogen, selenium and dissolved solid #pollution from #oil refineries came from facilities that are surrounded by neighborhoods that are home to people of color.

"The #EPA declined to comment on the report or on NPR's findings."

"#Exxon, your black hearts make me sick.
Budgets that burst with oil, crude gas in purse. No compassion, common criminals seek asylum.
Concrete pillow, Exxon dreams, hidden #hierarchy. No one in power taking blame."

#ClimateChange #WarningSigns started in the 1800s. Here's what humanity knew and when.

"Scientists had already figured out by the late 1800s that a greenhouse effect works to keep the planet warm, and that the carbon dioxide produced by burning coal could enhance that effect. By the 1970s, researchers were measuring those emissions in the atmosphere and warning Earth’s temperature could warm between 0.5 and 5 degrees Celsius by the mid-21st century."
