It's actually easy to point fingers when you're aware of the tactics used by O&G. Examples:
* They knew about climate change a long time ago, yet decided to use tobacco industry playbook rather than try to be part of the solution.
* They obfuscated plastic recycling on purpose (do you know the difference between PET-1 and PET-2, why does the plastic type symbol look exactly like the universal symbol for recycling?)
* Even more recently, they branded the term 'clean coal' and had different media outlets and politicians parrot it around.
* Established fake grassroots movements to make it look like people support whatever shit they do.
These and many other violations are discussed in the excellent YouTube channel Climate Town.
If we do quick fixes, O&G will absolutely use the opportunity to keep pushing their garbage and hinder other progress.
- brutusborn 3y agoThanks for the youtube suggestion, I'll check it out. The only one I'm aware of is the PR firm that worked with BP to develop the recycling concept. Maybe I'm being too easy on them.
