Big Oil Board Members Refuse to Testify on Climate Pledges
As a critic of Big Oil put it, “Given all the loopholes and disinformation in their companies’ ‘net-zero’ pledges, it’s no wonder these board members are dodging the committee’s request to testify.”
It’s very clear that the battle to phase out fossil fuels will stretch out decades into the future, as Big Oil has the financial resources to fight all on-comers, and bleed them to death with counter law-suits, corruption, disinformation, and a passel of other dirty tricks.

Assuming Trump is gone by 2024, Ron DeSantis is, at this moment, the most likely Republican candidate for the U.S. presidency. As shown at left, he’ll certainly have the backing of every anti-science moron in the country.
Ooo! Ooo! Call on me!

The banning of “controversial” books from our schools’ curricula is a horrific development in American education–as if we needed yet one more.
I had perhaps 8 – 10 clients in Texas through the many years I operated my marketing services business, mainly in Dallas and Austin, one in Houston. I never resented going there, perhaps due to the fact that I was getting paid, but probably more so because it wasn’t the three-ring circus that it is today.
Everyone who cares about justice, rule of law, and the preservation of American democracy is frustrated by the apparent inaction of the DOJ to prosecute the perpetrators of the coup attempt.
