This is important. Shell knew about how its products were driving climate change even before Exxon. And they covered it up, deceived and misdirected for decades
Center for Climate Integrity@climateintegrity.org · 5d agoIn June 1966, scientist James Lovelock warned Shell in a confidential memo of “the almost certain fact that the climate is worsening and the probability that the combustion of fuel is responsible.” Shell would later become "a founding member of the denialist Global Climate Coalition." 😑

The anti-vax group formerly led by Robert Kennedy Jr. has been promoting the story of a woman who says vaccines killed her 18-month-old twins. She’s the lead plaintiff in the group’s lawsuit against the American Academy of Pediatrics. Well, now she’s been charged with suffocating the toddlers.

🧵 A few years ago, some QAnon and MAHA anti-vaxxer propagandists were given a 2-day hearing at the Arizona legislature and then held a post-hearing health clinic at the Phoenix Convention Center. The hearing was literally promoted with a popular QAnon slogan. From @jerodmacevoy.com back in the day:

Reason Magazine: “We now oppose the doctors we promoted and amplified.”
Reason Magazine@reason.com · 11mo agoNot long ago, conservatives were rightly concerned about jawboning. Now they're apparently happy to take part in it themselves. "No government officials can memory-hole their own speech in an attempt to hide their past statements from the public."
