Today in Labor History March 24, 1989: The Exxon Valdez oil tanker ran aground in Prince William Sound, Alaska, dumping 240,000 barrels of crude oil. It was the largest oil spill in U.S. history until the Deepwater Horizon spill, in 2010. A major cause for the tanker’s collision was an overworked and under-rested crew, which the National Transportation Safety Board determined was a widespread practice. Thousands of people who participated in the cleanup efforts developed liver, kidney, lung, nervous system, and blood disorders due to 2-butoxyethanol and other agents that were used. An estimated 250,000 sea birds; 2,800 sea otters; 300 harbor seals, 247 bald eagles; 22 orcas; and unknown numbers of fish were killed by the spill. A study by the National Marine Fisheries Service, NOAA found that 90 tons of oil remained on beaches in Prince William Sound in 2001. The devastation to the local fisheries caused the bankruptcy of the Chugach Alaska Corporation, an Alaska Native Corporation.

Wildlife was severely affected by the oil spill. By http://www.evostc.state.ak.us/Gallery/gallery-spill.htm#nogo, Attribution, https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?curid=1314055

“Die Hälfte all dieser Emissionen entfällt sogar nur auf 36 Unternehmen, zu denen größtenteils staatliche Unternehmen wie China Energy Investment, die National Iranian Oil Company, #Gazprom aus Russland und #Adnoc aus den Vereinigten Arabischen Emiraten gehören. Der größte CO₂-Verursacher unter ihnen ist der saudi-arabische Staatskonzern #Aramco. Zehn der 36 befinden sich in China. Die fünf größten CO₂-Verursacher, die im Besitz von Investoren sind, sind #Exxon Mobil, #Chevron, #Shell, #Total Energies und #BP. Sie sind insgesamt für etwa fünf Prozent der weltweiten fossilen CO₂-Emissionen verantwortlich.” #AchseDesBoesen #justStopOil #keepItInTheGround #DrillBabyDrill 🫤

Canada has about 10 billion tons of Oil, burned that's 45 billion tons of CO2.

At the lowest hoped for price in the future of - "several hundred dollars a ton" it would cost Canada two trillion dollars to capture that carbon.

No daycares, no jobs, no new energy, just transferring all the $$$$ from your house to Exxon's owners.

Build the new energy, end carbon fuels, directly.

The costs of sequestering CO2 bankrupts a storm destroyed world. "PRE'" -sequestering carbon is FREE.

Victory in Vermont! 🥳

The Green Mountain State's climate accountability lawsuit against #BigOil is moving one step closer toward trial after a state judge rejected the companies’ arguments to dismiss the case.

#Vermont is seeking to make #Exxon and its peers stop lying about the dangers of their products, including requiring a disclosure at every point of sale in the state about the role of #FossilFuels in #ClimateChange,

#NuclearColonialism v. #RedPower

"The world has no shortage of #PoliticalPrisoners – or of environmental martyrs and heroes– but 80-year-old #LeonardPeltier, a #Lakota and #Anishinaabe AIM member, is arguably the most famous, the legal lynching he underwent so outrageous, and his incarceration in a 'maximum security' prison so protracted. Even former FBI agents have themselves essentially contended that Pelter was scapegoated by the FBI for the lethal shooting of two agents–Jack Coler and Ronald Williams– on the Pine Ridge Reservation. Michael Apted’s 1992 documentary Incident at Oglala, narrated by Robert Redford, is a good place to start if you’re new to this history. But if you’re looking for insights into the role that #UraniumMining played in the conflict, you’d be better off checking out #PeterMatthiessen’s book #InTheSpiritOfCrazyHorse: Leonard Peltier and the #FBI’s War on The #AmericanIndian ovement. To hear a first-hand account, check out Peltier’s memoir #PrisonWritings: My Life Is My Sun Dance.

"Despite well-documented prosecutorial misconduct powerfully depicted in Apted’s documentary, Peltier’s conviction has yet to be overturned. And in the face of decades of global, high-profile pleas for clemency for Peltier, including by James Reynolds, a “senior US attorney who was involved in [his] prosecution,” no president up until now has been willing to free Peltier. Given that he’s in increasingly poor health, time is running out, and the same president who just pardoned his own son may be Peltier’s last shot at clemency. If you haven’t yet done so, check out the Amnesty International petition– and Amy Goodman’s and Denis Moynihan’s recent column–making the case for his release. The Red Nation media collective also has an extensive playlist of podcasts focused on Peltier’s case and the long struggle to free him.

"Peltier, arguably the world’s most visible casualty of nuclear colonialism, was only three years into his sentence when Santee Dakota organizer John Trudell, his contemporary in AIM, delivered a searing 1980 speech at the Black Hills International Survival Gathering. As Zoltan Grossman has documented, 'Multinational mining companies, such as #UnionCarbide and #Exxon, proposed the development of the #BlackHills for energy resources, including #coal mines, #uranium mines, and coal slurry #pipelines.' The Black Hills gathering brought together a global convergence of more than 10,000 Indigenous activists and non-Native allies to hold the line against a repeat of the 1950s, which, per Grossman, had 'result[ed] in the extensive irradiation of the southern Black Hills community of #Edgemont.'"

CounterPunch.org · ‘Tis the Season to Talk Climate Collapse, Nuclear Colonialism, and Freeing Leonard PeltierI don’t know about you, but personally, the whole festive holiday thing seems to be falling a bit flat this year. Don’t get me wrong, like every other year, I do plan to really go to town on a pumpkin pie or two. But this year, the annual deluge of Black Friday ads egging us on to higher levels of consumption–with corresponding carbon emissions and solid and liquid waste–seemed particularly hollow, morbid–predatory, even–falling as Black Friday did this year on November 29, the date the U.N. first recognized in 1977 as International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian People. This year all the excess, forced pageantry, and planned obsolescence of Black Friday seems in such stark and ironic contrast to the poverty in Gaza.

#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.'"

@davidnewman

There is a view that #COP29 will be more likely to succeed without the US.

In the words of Bill McKibben in his substack post yesterday: ""it’s possible that in terms of international negotiations things may get somewhat easier without the drag of the US on the proceedings. (Which is why, comically, Exxon is asking the Trump administration to stay in the Paris talks)."

And in 1982, an official at the oil corporation #Exxon issued an internal report that found the global heating tied to fossil fuel emissions could “cause flooding on much of the US east coast”.

Executive Summary

“The climate crisis, including a rapid escalation in extreme weather events, is causing severe harm to residents of New York. These disasters are in large part the result of reckless conduct undertaken by major fossil fuel companies (“FFCs”) like ExxonMobil, Chevron, Shell, and BP that are responsible for a substantial portion of all the global greenhouse gas emissions that have caused our planet to heat up.[1] Recent exposés of internal documents show that these FFCs have long understood with shocking accuracy[2] that their fossil fuel products would cause, in their own words, “catastrophic” climate harms[3] that would “submerge New York,”[4] do “great irreversible harm to our planet,”[5] “cause flooding on much of the U.S. East Coast,”[6] “have serious consequences for man’s comfort and survival,”[7] create “more violent weather—more storms, more droughts, more deluges,”[8] and cause “suffering and death due to thermal extremes.”[9]Instead of finding new business models or at least warning the public and government officials, these companies conspired to wage a massive disinformation campaign to prevent regulators, investors, and the public from understanding the risks their products were creating.[10] They have made trillions of dollars from this deception, and the people of New York are paying the price.[11]”
