The White House Effect op netflix. Duidelijke weergave van hoe er al sinds 1977 quasi geen bal gedaan wordt tegen global warming.

Oa met dank aan Exxon, Shell, Total … Er wordt letterlijk gevraagd om global warming weg te zetten als theorie, geen feit.

Watching "The White House Effect" on @netflix.com, and I'm reminded that it's possible to draw a straight line from Reagan to most of the existential threats that we face today

Just finished watching 'the White House Effect' on Netflix.
The documentary in itself is perfect: no comments, just archives.
It took me a whole week to watch, because it was so depressing I had to take breaks.
The very final image is utterly striking.

Happy Friday!!!!

Listening to an NPR
interview with Sununu, former Governor of New Hampshire, re FAA stress on airline travel during the shutdown.

Sununu. Sound familiar? For those of over the age of 60, that name should evoke concern at minimum.

If ur not sure why, watch The White House Effect.

Essential (but depressing) new documentary @netflix.com

The White House Effect

The story is bigger than America, but this traces the catastrophic shift from political consensus under Republican Bush 1 on Climate Change to state capture by Big Oil

The White House Effect is a distressing look back at how President George H. W. Bush came to abandon his climate ambitions. It is essential viewing and a glimpse at a world that could have been, says Bethan Ackerley
