Boy, it almost seems like a #GlobalConspiracy by #BigOil and #BigMineral... Keep warming temps so they can mine #Antarctica!

Antarctica hides huge caches of gold, silver, copper and iron. As the ice melts, countries may race to harvest them.

Melting ice, rebounding land, and rising seas will change what resources are available in Antarctica, a new analysis finds.

6/23/88 was the day James Hansen testified before Congress. And there was bipartisan consensus to do something. Briefly

#exxonknew and their scientists were aware of what was going to happen in 1977. #gm and #ford knew not long after

None of this is a surprise, perhaps the speed, chosen ignorance and number of people who could care less about their kid’s future is a surprise though #climatechange #climatecatastrophe

“This is bigger than all the biggest crises combined, and therefore huge,” he said in an exclusive Guardian interview. “I still cannot understand that the world was so blindsided, that the global economy can be held hostage to a 50km strait.”

Event With Links to Oil Industry Teaches Judges “Healthy Skepticism” of Climate Science

As congressional Republicans accuse climate scholars and lawyers of colluding to influence the judiciary, a symposium hosted by a center funded by the fossil fuel industry educates judges about free-market views of climate science.

We got left behind in the minerals race because the first #trump administration let #china run the table. More #maga meant tripling down on old energy, we are left in a hole being a #petrostate in an #electrostate world and Trump won’t stop digging

Is Trump the last great “fuck you” from the #boomers #oldandintheway We’ve wasted so much time, treasure and respect, for what? #climatecollapse #exxonknew #gop #ford #gm

@realTuckFrumper the years we have squandered on this fucking grifter. Never forget how we got here and the ones who enabled it #evangelicals We put the final nail in the coffin of an empire for cheaper eggs

It will take generations to right this ship, lots of rotten planks to remove and replace. The #DNC still doesn’t get it either #democracticsocialist

@realTuckFrumper Oil, and the dollar specifically the US petrodollar are why we can’t have nice things. Countries who stray, or threaten to stray, from trading oil in dollars are threatened with bullshit and sometimes the horns from the US.

#project2025 is big oil, eroding democracy and creeping authoritarianism is oil. It will be our demise, first our democracy then our ability to survive
