I see how things are. Kill a bunch of women, children, elderly folks, doctors, chefs, etc., and you're a US ally (I'm looking at you, #BibiIsAWarCriminal ). But take a stand against #CorporateTerror that destroys #MotherEarth and stomps on the poor and forces people into financial servitude, you're branded a #Terrorist. Makes perfect sense...NOT!

#Maine Sues Major #OilCompanies Over ‘Ongoing Deception’ About #ClimateChange
The lawsuit follows similar suits by eight other states and the District of Columbia against major oil companies, all alleging complicity in climate change. Those states are New Jersey, California, Delaware, Minnesota, Vermont, Connecticut, Massachusetts and Rhode Island
Story by Nina Golgowski
November 27, 2024
"The state of Maine has filed a lawsuit against five major oil companies and their top lobbying group, accusing them of carrying out a decades-long disinformation campaign about climate change and their contribution to it in order to maximize profits.
"Maine Attorney General Aaron Frey, in his lawsuit filed Tuesday in state court, accuses Exxon Mobil, Shell, Chevron, BP, Sunoco and the American Petroleum Institute of withholding internal knowledge about fossil fuels’ catastrophic effects all while spinning public doubt.
"'For over half a century, these companies chose to fuel profits instead of following their science to prevent what are now likely irreversible, catastrophic climate effects,' said Frey in a statement. 'In so doing, they burdened the State and our citizens with the consequences of their greed and deception.'"

#BigOil firms knew of dire effects of #FossilFuels as early as 1950s, memos show
Newly unearthed documents contain warning from head of #AirPollutionFoundation, founded in 1953 by oil interests

"Major oil companies, including #Shell and precursors to energy giants #Chevron, #ExxonMobil and #BP, were alerted about the planet-warming effects of fossil fuels as early as 1954, newly unearthed documents show.
The warning, from the head of an industry-created group known as the Air Pollution Foundation, was revealed by Climate Investigations Center and published Tuesday by the climate website DeSmog. It represents what may be the earliest instance of big oil being informed of the potentially dire consequences of its products.
"'Every time there’s a push for #ClimateAction, [we see] fossil fuel companies downplay and deny the harms of burning fossil fuels,' said Rebecca John, a researcher at the Climate Investigations Center who uncovered the historic memos. 'Now we have evidence they were doing this way back in the 50s during these really early attempts to crack down on sources of pollution.'"

So, after the #Fukushima #Nuclear accident, I used to track #RadNet radiation data, which showed radiation pollution from not only Fukushima, but all sorts of #NuclearEmissions. Then the #EPA decided NOT to track #BetaRadiation anymore, after radiation levels went way up. I'm a data person. I downloaded the raw data. I saw what happened. Trust me, the USA and Japan and other #Corporatocracy / #Crapitalism espousers are hiding the truth. Cuz, if we knew THE TRUTH, we would stop buying crap and would know what is really going on.

@corbin_lambeth A Hex On Exxon!
"Miles cable, claws, driller killer ripping holes, all tattered the cloth stained, regaining
All the weather, #AcidRains, so sweet sweat streaks downpoured on humility
Colder time, talking hints, watching tests of heat, mangled meat, retaliate! No blaming
In future dreams could you have stopped it from happening?
Best left a spectator? Spectacle? Traitor!
All the time's, placed, first place!
Farther down, pull the trigger, gauging, gauging
Cars kills at will, melted profits, book burning
How undone, written slurs, the meaning...
Oh the pasts they will repeat, hard to hit, so are beat
Melted profits, the past, melting, under honor
Cars kill at will, cars kill at will
Mr. Fables' rolls, altogether mutating. The chains rattle, happy to perform!
In the war of famine, no where arid food growing now
Warming trends the place, passive cows to feed the weak
Product waste! Give back. Oil coming in
Make a million living things suffer, hidden, black garbage body bags
What of that change that could save everything?
That paper shredder, patent tender, puts us back in time again
Exxon, your black hearts make me sick
Budgets that burst with oil, crude gas in purse. No compassion, common criminals seek asylum
Concrete pillow, Exxon dreams, hidden #hierarchy. No one in power taking blame"
New Evidence Reveals #FossilFuel Industry Sponsored #ClimateScience in 1954
Documents shed light on the earliest-known instance of climate science funded by the fossil fuel industry, adding to growing understanding of #BigOil’s knowledge of #ClimateChange

"In 1955 in the wilds of Big Sur, a young Caltech researcher named Charles David Keeling gathered carbon dioxide samples among Northern California’s towering redwoods. Crawling out of his sleeping bag several times a night on research trips conducted over the course of 18 months, from January 1955 to June 1956, Keeling measured background levels of carbon dioxide across the western United States — at Big Sur, but also at desert and high mountain stations, in forests and grassland, above the city of Los Angeles, and over the waters of the Pacific Ocean.
"Keeling’s findings would lead him to conduct a separate series of experiments from the top of the Hawaiian volcano Mauna Loa resulting in the famous Keeling Curve — a visual depiction of rising atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) caused by the burning of fossil fuels. His work underpins our understanding of manmade climate change."

Tribes Sue Six Oil Giants for #ClimateDeception
"These oil companies knew their products were dangerous, yet they did nothing to mitigate those dangers or warn any of us about them, for decades," said the chairwoman of the #ShoalwaterBay Indian Tribe.
Julia Conley
Dec 20, 2023
"Two Indigenous tribes in #WashingtonState said Wednesday that they intend to force several oil giants 'to help pay for the high costs of surviving the catastrophe caused by the #ClimateCrisis,' as they filed lawsuits in the state's largest trial court.
"The #Makah Indian Tribe and Shoalwater Bay Indian Tribe filed two separate complaints in King County Superior Court against #ExxonMobil, #Shell, #Chevron, #BP, #ConocoPhillips, and #Phillips66, saying the defendants must be held 'accountable for their deceptive and unfair conduct, and pay for the damage their deceptive conduct has caused and will cause for decades to come.'
"The lawsuits—among dozens filed against #BigOil since 2017—detail the extent to which the companies have long known that their fossil fuel extraction would drive planetary heating and the resulting #SeaLevelRise, #ExtremeWeather, #PublicHealth crises, and other impacts of the climate crisis, which now costs the U.S. roughly $150 billion per year just in damages from #hurricanes and other weather disasters.
"'We are seeing the effects of the climate crisis on our people, our land, and our resources. The costs and consequences to us are overwhelming,' said Timothy Greene Sr., chairman of the Makah Tribal Council. 'We intend to hold these companies accountable for hiding the truth about climate change and the effects of burning fossil fuels.'"

Insight: Three Exxon refineries top the list of U.S. polluters
By Tim Mclaughlin
June 1, 2021
BATON ROUGE, Louisiana (Reuters) - "#ExxonMobil's U.S. #OilRefineries refineries pump out far more #lung-damaging soot than similarly-sized facilities operated by rivals, according to regulatory documents and a Reuters analysis of pollution test results.
"The Texas-based firm's three largest #refineries - two in #Texas and one in #Louisiana - are the nation's top three emitters of small #particulatematter according to the analysis of the latest tests submitted to regulators by the nation's 10 largest refineries.
"The three Exxon refineries together averaged emissions of 80 pounds per hour, eight times the average rate of the seven other refineries on the top-ten list, some of which are larger than Exxon's plants, the analysis shows. The top polluter, Exxon's #BatonRouge refinery, averaged 138 pounds per hour.
"The performance reflects the firm's inadequate spending to cut emissions, said Wilma Subra, a Louisiana-based scientist who formerly served on the Environmental Protection Agency's National Environmental Justice Advisory Council.
"'Exxon has all the resources in the world to lower its pollution rates dramatically,' she said.
"The company has taken heat for years for its environmental performance. This week, Exxon lost at least two seats on its board of directors to an activist hedge fund seeking to force the firm to reckon with #ClimateChange.
"Exxon (XOM.N) said in a statement that it tries [not very hard, apparently] to comply with environmental laws and has invested billions of dollars to reduce emissions over the last two decades." [And buy congress members]

What do frontline communities want to know about lithium extraction? Identifying research areas to support environmental justice in Lithium Valley, California
Elsevier
Energy Research & Social Science
Volume 99, May 2023,
Abstract:
"#CleanEnergy technologies provide global benefits through climate mitigation and many local #environmental benefits for consumers. However, the supply chains that produce them inevitably impose some environmental burden on the communities where they operate. To align with the principles of environmental justice, the burdens and benefits of clean energy supply chains should be distributed equitably, with decision-making processes that empower local communities to participate. Academic research can play a key role as a source of transparent information that addresses the concerns of frontline communities; however, this requires deliberate effort during the initial stages of research to understand what those concerns are and seek data that will respond to them. As a case study, this article analyzes public meetings about a developing lithium industry in Imperial, California, and reviews relevant literature to build a research agenda that is guided by the priorities of local stakeholders. We find that #WaterConsumption, public #health impacts, local employment, and opportunities to participate are high-priority topics for community members. We also compare the content of discussions across groups, finding that participants in community-focused meetings mainly asked about the local impacts of the process, whereas state-led discussions focused on the sustainability of direct lithium extraction (#DLE) compared to conventional production methods. To address the priorities of frontline communities, we recommend evaluating water consumption in the context of regional availability, including local air emissions and waste streams in sustainability analyses, and monitoring the impact on local employment over time to ensure the promises made during development accrue to communities.
"One promising alternative is direct lithium extraction (DLE), a method of separating lithium from brine through chemical processing rather than relying on the slower process of natural evaporation. DLE enables lithium recovery from lower-concentration sources of brine, including mineral-rich geothermal fluids that are already brought to the surface for energy production. DLE has a smaller physical and water footprint than status quo production methods and can use energy from onsite geothermal power plants, resulting in lower carbon emissions. However, DLE is an emerging technology, and most information about the process and its impact comes from the #industry rather than #peerreviewed literature or other independent sources."

ExxonMobil is a lithium company now
ExxonMobil plans on extracting and producing battery-grade lithium from the #SmackoverFormation in #Arkansas.
By Emma Roth
November 13, 2023
“ExxonMobil is getting into the lithium production business. The company announced on Monday that it’s going to become a 'leading producer of lithium' by opening its first drilling operation in southern Arkansas.
“The demand for lithium has grown in the past couple of years, with the metal serving as a key ingredient in the rechargeable batteries that power electric vehicles, phones, laptops, and other tech. ExxonMobil plans to start producing lithium in 2027 and says it could make enough lithium to supply over 1 million electric vehicles per year by 2030.
“Earlier this year, ExxonMobil purchased 120,000 acres of lithium-rich land spanning a geologic formation — called the Smackover Formation — in Arkansas. To access the lithium, the company will first drill 10,000 feet below the surface using gas and oil machinery. From there, it will then use direct lithium extraction (DLE) to separate the lithium from the saltwater it’s mixed with. Once that’s done, ExxonMobil will inject the saltwater back into the ground.
“ExxonMobil says the DLE process 'produces fewer carbon emissions than hard rock mining and requires significantly less land.' The company will produce the battery-grade lithium on-site, which it will call Mobil Lithium. This technically isn’t the first time ExxonMobil is getting involved in the battery business, as the company manufactured the first lithium-ion battery in the 1970s.
“'Lithium is essential to the energy transition, and ExxonMobil has a leading role to play in paving the way for electrification,' Dan Ammann, the president of ExxonMobil Low Carbon Solutions, said in a statement. 'This landmark project applies decades of ExxonMobil expertise to unlock vast supplies of North American lithium with far fewer environmental impacts than traditional mining operations.'
“In addition to ExxonMobil, Canada-based Standard Lithium also plans on extracting lithium from the Smackover Formation. Meanwhile, Lithium Americas has begun mining for the metal at Thacker Pass in Nevada, and other companies are eyeing California’s Salton Sea as a potential lithium extraction site.
“Bringing lithium extraction stateside could make a big difference for EV automakers that want to produce batteries here in the US, as most of them currently source lithium from other countries, including Australia, Argentina, Chile, and China.”

this decision was made by persons. they have names and addresses (if still living). i want them held accountable for fraud and the billions of lives they've condemned to death through environmental collapse. do we have any prosecutors brave enough?
I just came across a piece about #LithiumMining in #Arkansas using a method touted to be "greener". Like I'm always saying, if something sounds too good to be true, it probably isn't true. Also, #ExxonLied then -- who's to say they aren't now?!
Some questions about the plan to mine lithium in south Arkansas
By Sam Watson
November 14, 2023
"What are the environmental impacts here? This question is difficult to answer at this point. Normal lithium extraction is quite #environmentally damaging; it often involves treating brine containing lithium with sulfuric acid and letting the liquid evaporate in open pools, leaving lithium behind. #Exxon stated that they’d use something called 'direct lithium extraction.' There are several versions of this process, but we don’t yet know what Exxon will use. All of them have different environmental impacts, some more severe than others. The key here will be regulation and monitoring, but we have serious concerns here. The Division of Environmental Quality may not have capacity for this kind of continuous monitoring and the state’s friendliness to #OilAndGas makes us worried that upfront regulations to protect the #environment and people of south Arkansas will be lacking at best."

@madomado Um, I don't trust #TEPCO or the government of #Japan. TEPCO has LIED for years about radiation levels. What makes you think they've changed their ways? #TEPCOLies #ExxonLied #Corporatocracy
Continued thread
"As early as the 1970s, #Exxon’s scientists predicted that the firm’s #fossilfuel products could lead to #globalwarming with “dramatic #environmental effects before the year #2050.” Yet, as has been well documented, Exxon officials responded by investing company funds in casting doubt on climate change research, even financing think tanks focused on #ClimateDenialism. Had they instead broadcast their scientists’ findings and worked to speed the transition to alternative fuels, the world would be in a far less precarious position today."
