2 points by throw0101a on May 23, 2021 | hide | past | favorite | 1 comment



Highlights:

* ExxonMobil's public climate change messaging mimics tobacco industry propaganda

* Rhetoric of climate “risk” downplays the reality and seriousness of climate change

* Rhetoric of consumer “demand” (versus fossil fuel supply) individualizes responsibility

* Fossil Fuel Savior frame uses “risk” and “demand” to justify fossil fuels, blame customers
