“For decades, the fossil fuel industry has known about the economic and climate harms of its products but has deceived the American public to keep collecting more than $600 billion each year in subsidies while raking in record-breaking profits,” Senate Budget Committee Chair Sheldon Whitehouse (D-R.I.) said in a statement. “As this joint report makes clear, the industry’s outright denial of climate change has evolved into a green-seeming cover for its ongoing covert operation—a campaign of deception, disinformation, and doublespeak waged using dark money, phony front groups, false economics, and relentless exertion of political influence—to block climate progress.”

Disgusting. Sadly, not surprising. The corporate greed is just beyond ! And Americans pay the price, not just financially but with our very lives, with our health, and the health and lives of all living things on Earth. How can HBs turn this existence around? I don’t see it. Sometimes I just want to jump planes to try something else because this ain’t it.

This behavior reeks with memories of the Tobacco cases. Tobacco companies also hid their science and lied about their products. In that situation, people were sick and dying of cancer, emphysema, etc. Damages were easy to prove. With fossil fuel, not so much. Again I say, HBs pay the price.
