"The history's well established & irrefutable: #OilAndGas knew exactly what #ClimateChange is, its relationship to their product & exactly how dire it would get for nearly 50 years now, at a minimum. The response was to deny, create doubt, slow walk solutions & pretend to help while making it worse"

"#BigOil, the billionaires & their legions of puppets all have very direct, clear reasons to maintain this broken & burning status quo. The only thing that can stop them remains US. They have all the money but there's way more of us than them. The battle for #HeartsAndMinds never had higher stakes"
"It's a hearts & minds thing. #BigOil has always understood that & we'd better get smart about it fast. As for talking about #ClimateChange, it wasn't even the right time to talk about it during the #LAWildfires, which came with $250 billion worth of damages. That's if money's all you care about."

"It never had to be this way & all of it remains entirely fixable by a well-informed populace even now. That means rooting out things like foreign ownership of our national media & the indoctrination of our children by the now largely foreign-owned big oil companies. It's a hearts and minds thing."
"I get it. It's a lot. But for the record the 'a lot' was predicted. #ClimateChange was always going to keep pounding away at us while other global dangers rose & pounded away too, each making the other worse. Welcome to the not-so-great feedback loop, population you & everybody else. So now what?"
"Folks told us #Covid just wasn't the time to talk #ClimateChange & to be sure a lot of climate organizations & the most progress we'd ever seen just died on the vine during that time. Last year it was #Housing & #Inequality. This year it's an openly covetous, belligerent & reckless America."
"Provincial governments are primarily responsible for education but the federal government can play a role too, particularly when an education topic is deemed in the national interest. The need to urgently address #ClimateChange is absolutely in the national interest & in that of our children."
"The federal government is coming out with a framework on environmental learning which needs best practices and principles & to be aligned with our treaty obligations under the #ParisAgreement to limit warming to 1.5, placing the urgent need to transition away from fossil fuels in the framework."
"Just as we wouldn't want #BigTobacco sponsoring events at our schools, #BigOil shouldn't be either. There needs to be a ban on #FossilFuels sponsorship & provincial governments need to step up & fund the #ClimateChange education our kids deserve."
"#ForOurKids has a number of actions folks can take at the school board, provincial & federal levels of government. At school boards we ask them to establish policies to vet resources to exclude organizations that have a conflict of interest like #FossilFuel industry funding."

Hearts and Minds: Big Oil in t...
"It's important to remember: they don't just sow doubt about #ClimateChange & the science. They undermine the political will needed to address it, they go directly after climate policy. They're doing this in our schools, which is horrifying & they're lobbying intensively right now in government."
"The 'global science communications action plan' was introduced at a meeting by the #AmericanPetroleumInstitute which directly says 'we achieve victory when the average citizen recognizes there are uncertainties about climate science' then lays out a plan including getting into the education system."
"Doing the research, looking at the long history of disinformation it was really chilling to read reports from climate science teams that were reporting to the #FossilFuels industry that if we continue with these emissions & pumping CO2 into the atmosphere, it threatens global habitability!"
"The funding comes from #FossilFuel companies who then turn around and lobby the government for weaker climate policy & fund grassroots groups involved in #climate denial & #disinformation campaigns. That information isn't shared with teachers and students at these conferences. It feels insidious."
"As a former teacher teaching science curriculum, it mentioned #ClimateChange but the connection to the fossil fuel industry which provides the fuels, which are then burned, which then causes the carbon emissions, and that's what's climbing and causing climate change, that connection was missing."
"It needs to be in the public sphere & we need to get corporate #FossilFuel influence out. We need our governments to step up on this with full transparency and accountability to really address the trajectory we're on and the critical need to change course. It's URGENT."
"The importance of evidence based #ClimateChange education is all the more critical considering the corrupted information sphere in which we're all living. #BigTech funds algorithms that fuel messages to young people. It's really hard for young people to navigate this corrupted information sphere."
