Non-profit media studio from filmmaker Adam McKay (Don’t Look Up, The Big Short, Anchorman) clearing the air of polluter BS, so we can clear the air of the fossil fuel pollution that's destroying everything.
Oh yeah, let's bring back the 1970s. Rivers on fire! Oil slicks around the Statue of Liberty! Because there's no way to put a wood panel on a station wagon that doesn't spew carbon...🙄

You are, right now, paying Big Oil's $900 annual pollution tax, in the form of higher home insurance, higher health insurance, and higher electric bills for more air conditioning. These costs disproportionately burden the poor and will keep rising as long as the fossil fuel industry exists.
Climate Change Is Already Costing U.S. Households Up to $900 Per Year
A new working paper from a trio of eminent economists tallies the effects of warming — particularly extreme weather — on Americans’ budgets.

Meet the new devil: Plastic
Big Oil knows its days are numbered as a source of inefficient, dirty, expensive energy.
So now it's betting we'll sell our souls for plastic, which is "cheap" because Big Oil doesn't pay the massive costs to our bodies, health, land, water, air, and (still) climate.

These ads are poisoning trust in media
‘Native advertising' allows fossil fuel companies to disguise their ads in news outlets. A new book argues the practice undermines journalistic credibility.

Today is the 60th(!) anniversary of the first public report on the dangers of fossil fuel pollution.
What happened? A whole lot of fossil fuel bullsh*t and corruption in service of a whole lot of nothing.
All while pollution and warming escalated far beyond what scientist predicted in 1965.

Yes, it's a moral failure to allow fossil fuel pollution and fail to switch to clean energy.
And a criminal failure b/c it is enabled by disinformation, fraud, and negligence.
And a financial failure b/c WE are paying TRILLIONS in damage so fossil fuel companies can make billions in profits. 💸💸💸
