Court Docs Confirm Fossil Fuel Industry Funding Climate Change Denial

[GoLeft TV]

Climate change is quickly becoming one of the most ignored issues of the 2016 presidential race. And that’s a huge problem, as the last 20 years has seen a dramatic increase in climate awareness with little to no action to help the problem. Now, documents uncovered from Peabody Energy show that the coal giant was paying off dozens of public leaders to deny the existence of climate change. Ring of Fire’s Farron Cousins discusses this.

1. Rah rah rah! Hillary gets $6.9M from Oil/Gas; Maximum allotment from Peabody Energy

Former Rep. Richard (“Dick”) Gephardt’s firm lobbies for Peabody Energy (coal), Prairie State (coal-fired power plant and adjacent mine), Ameren Services Co. Gephardt and his wife, son and daughter Chrissy all contributed the maximum allowed to Clinton’s campaign (Dick is the only fossil fuel lobbyist in the family). Gephardt, a Democratic Party super delegate, has pledged to support Clinton. In February, the DNC rolled back its previous commitment to not take any contributions from federally registered lobbyists. Clinton’s campaign has also received contributions from lobbyists representing big mining companies — Westmoreland Coal, Arch Coal and Rio Tinto.

So, I think we can see where our future has been bought to...

3. Thanks for the link.

When it comes to climate change we need to hold every politician accountable, even our "presumptive nominee".
Our survival depends on it.
