The final podcast of the Real Free Speech Threat by Drilled is out: How the U.S. Got the World to View Environmentalists as "Terrorists”.
The worldwide reach of the US war on terror and how it became a framework to oppress environmental activists.
George W. Bush's "if you are not with us, you are against us". It sounded creepy then, and even worse now.
"We were called in for a staff meeting and our research director told us;
There's a lot of activists and journalists snooping around and trying to enquire about our funding... from the oil industry... If anybody talks to you... send them to me instead.
For an academic institution to actually tell its researchers; don't tell other people where your funding comes from!"

"Republicans [in the early 1980s] were still approaching global warming as a science and innovation problem, a business opportunity more than an economic threat. Ed Garvy's tanker project [measuring CO2 levels in the atmosphere and ocean] was still underway at Exxon, the company was still funding climate research, and climate science was continuing at various government agencies too."

This true crime style podcast contains some fascinating interviews with scientists employed by Exxon in the 1970s to study the potential effects of burning hydrocarbons on the climate...
... before they started publicly denying or minimising their company's contributions to the climate change problem;

The #Drilled #podcast is excellent climate journalism and I highly recommend.
Season 10 is highlighting how empathetic than addressing climate change governments are siding with fossil fuel companies and introducing authoritarian laws against citizens.
Episode 3 outlines Australia introducing draconian laws to label protesters as terrorists with outrageous prison sentences

It seems to me this is a steady march towards outright facism
@KimPerales The excellent #Drilled podcast did a couple of episodes focused on oil/gas industry involvement in American schools, involving textbooks, lesson plans, pamphlets, etc all with a pro-oil/gas message. The podcast also documents how public school districts often allow oil/gas operatives onto school grounds to give talks to classes or even the entire school body about the wonders of oil/gas and the evils of renewable energy… I tell ya, if there is a Great Satan, it’s oil/gas industry.
"For well over a century, the #oil and #gas industry has #drilled holes across #California in search of black gold and a lucrative payday. But with production falling steadily, the time has come to clean up many of the nearly quarter-million wells scattered from downtown Los Angeles to western Kern County and across the state.
The bill for that work, however, will vastly exceed all the industry’s future #profits in the state."
