Never forget that we had all the scientific evidence we needed to act on global warming over 50 years ago, but the fossil fuel industry spent millions to spread disinformation and block climate action. Global warming isn’t a tragedy, it’s a crime.

Hydrogen Blending in California will slow down building decarbonization, increase energy costs, and exacerbate indoor air pollution. It’s a lose-lose-lose. The @californiapuc must reject these hydrogen blending proposals https://t.co/GzBf0ZeICe

new: Stanford's sustainability school just hired a PR firm amid concern from activists over the institution's extensive funding from big oil. But that PR firm, the Brunswick Group, has ITSELF faced criticism for working with oil companies. https://t.co/PV83OdyKkE

All Oil & Gas companies in this report fail to meet climate criteria. Should @Stanford, @stanforddoerr and @StanfordEnergy really partner with companies that directly oppose their mission?

BREAKING: Despite claiming to be part of the solution, Big Oil and Gas companies are failing to align with the new international climate agreement to phase out fossil fuels. They need a #BigOilRealityCheck https://t.co/sj9d8MDOUe

Community groups have spoken out: Stanford should stop taking fossil fuel money. In the words of @CRCommunities: "Failure to do so will only jeopardize the trust Stanford has built in communities affected by environmental injustices." https://t.co/AMuWLKB71K
