  • June 21 | Senator Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI), Chairman of the Senate Budget Committee, opens a Budget Committee hearing entitled, “Dollars and Degrees: Investigating Fossil Fuel Dark Money’s Systemic Threats to Climate and the Federal Budget.”
    The hearing explored the insidious role that secretive fossil fuel money has played in exposing us to those forecast economic and budgetary catastrophes. Decades of climate disinformation and obstruction kept the fossil fuel industry benefiting from its $600-plus billion-dollar subsidy, driving up climate-related costs to the federal budget and to the broader economy.

    How much money is being directed to the supreme court justices in exchange for rulings like citizens united? That's the only way to explain such a ruling.

    Keep it up Senator Whitehouse. Your voice is being heard more and more. Your messages are clear and on point. You dont waste words or our time. I will support you if you decide to throw your hat in the ring for higher office. But the flip side is, who will be in the Senate to take up your roles there?

    I think you likely know this But I am hearing from from all over the world that American needs to serious about Climate and needs to stop the Oligarchy calling the shots in Government, Budget and Defense. We are pulling our best partners down with us and leaving so many behind they need to be strong. I believe in all your work I only wish I had the means to make you successful faster. We all have kids and grand kids and for the first time we are leaving them in worse shape than our parents. Don't you dare stop pressing and whether we can send money or not you must know a lot of folks are out here screaming for you to Go Go Go! Dennis in Virginia

    It is sad that only few in leading positions really gets the imperil that we are. There is just few decades to act and after that its most likely lost for humanity.
    If 3C starts the collapsion of the nations, then we are way too close to that point. Hansen et. al. recent study says that current temperature added with aerosol cooling means 2,55C tempeature rise. Where 3C is the low point of predicted extinction of mankind. We are way too close to the point where everyone dies.

    When people speak of bravery and honour, they often speak of heroes in the US military, or law enforcement, or firefighters. Senator Sheldon Whitehouse is a brave and honourable man, and he is heroic in his efforts to stop climate change and to bring the criminals responsible for perpetrating some of the worst crimes against this generation and future generations of the planet, to justice. You honour not just the US but the world, Senator!

      Have you seen the image that shows all of the satellites surrounding earth? Look it up. Bezos and Musk are a blip. But that’s the outer atmosphere. What’s causing problems with things down here are happening here on earth. From dinosaurs that became extinct, too. Fossil fuels. Not spacecraft. Throwing around parroted catch names doesn’t help. Get a clue.
