"There are good reasons why Kinder Morgan chose to walk away from this project and you should carefully consider them before investing your Nation’s money," wrote the president and secretary-treasurer in an open letter.#climatechange #climateemergency
"Oil giant Mobil sought to make tax-exempt donations to leading universities, civic groups and arts programmes to promote the company’s interests and undermine environmental regulation, according to internal documents from the early 1990s obtained by the Guardian.
The documents come to light as ExxonMobil, formed when Mobil merged with Exxon in 1999, is now facing investigations by multiple state attorneys general over claims it failed to communicate known climate crisis-related risks to investors and the public.
The foundation wrote that its grants for not-for-profits could help Mobil fight environmental regulation, fund scientists whose work had been “favorably received by the industry” and prepare Mobil to defend itself against lawsuits following oil spills and industrial accidents."
The news gets more disturbing about fossil fuel corporations' knowledge of the influence of human use of their products increasing climate change. It is alarming that the industry’s tax free donations to not-for-profits successfully convinced the nonprofits and universities to support lax regulation and basically industry propaganda about its products' safety.

WHEN WILL 'THE GREAT COASTAL DROWNING' BEGIN?
Pedersen ice core samples have demonstrated that the Arctic in past millennia has had abrupt climate change (from extensive ice coverage to virtually none) in as little as TWO years!
If the Greenland Ice Sheet melted, scientists estimate that sea level would rise about 6 meters (20 feet). If the Antarctic Ice Sheet melted, sea level would rise by about 60 meters (200 feet).
