Just your routine reminder that oil & gas companies like ExxonMobil understood the climate science as early as the 1950s.

Climate denialism has never been a legitimate position.

It‘s a political strategy to consolidate wealth & power for oil barons and their political henchmen.

1. I don't have time to write a thread right now, so, a thread.

I am officially tired of "listen to the science" as a talking point for climate activists. I disagree w/ it as a matter of fact & question its efficacy as strategy.

“... we can’t build any new fossil fuel infrastructure” @MassGovernor. https://twitter.com/awalkerinla/status/1203066101283737600

Alissa Walker@awalkerinLA

After last week's UNEP report it's clear—the *only* way to stay below the 1.5-degrees threshold is to make dramatic emissions reductions by at least 7.6 percent per year.

That means we can't build any new fossil-fuel infrastructure.

Including highways.
