</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">since we spoke i've dug into the three questions you asked, so here's some preliminay results:</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">1) on following the money, it's tough because exposing that is fastest/easiest/surest way to undermine credibility, especially astroturf orgs. As a result they have gotten very good at hiding it, as I'm sure you've noticed. Mostly they use DAFs. Brulle has done great work on this at macro level, but it's tough to trace it to specific oil corps.</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman"> A few NGOs have done great work on following the $, especially CTP, which is sadly defunct, but gives good clues on what still may be going on.</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">
</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">Another difficulty is money gets shuttled between 501c3 and C4 "action" sister arms, and the IRS won't rule on what % of political spending is allowable IRRS got beaten up badly trying to do due dilligence when a bunch of Tea Party orgs swamped them with applications (proto-Trumpista grift); Rick Scott GOP "platform" calls for halving their already insufficient budget]</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">
</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">As far as post-Paris action, the Big Four cleave pretty dramatically between the US and EU based companies. Royal Dutch Shell lawsuit loss; EV (opposed by API, Koch)</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">BP, perhaps replaying the Lord Brown Beyond Petroleum glory days, made significant moves under former Susan Dio; it promised and actually followed through on an evaluation on its funding and membership of trade associations, which have played a critical role in denial</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">[quick recap: </font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">
</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">Phase 1) it's not real</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">
</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">2) it's real but just natural variation (sunspots, medieval ice age...)</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">
</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">2a: it might be real and human-caused, so we will work on it: GCC made up of fossil fuel and other corps and trade Associations eg API; as such fronts are exposed as worse than useless, the corps bail to prevent reputational damage to brand, consumer boycotts, shareholder revolts); trade associations keep the front going as long as possible, then make new ones (or just rebrand].</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">
</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">3) it's real and human caused, but too expensive to fix (wreck economy)</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">
</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">3a) Lomborg: more efficient to do Y (or do evil in the guise/name of green: frack, nuke)</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">4) Delayism: net zero, greenwash algae, CCS hydrogen BS</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">
</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">BP under Dio based on their audit did actually quit some of the smaller more aggressive denialist trade associations ( [BP dumped WEA, WSPA, and AFPM, so did Shell on latter) SAAGs), but all Big 4 have stayed in API, the biggest, best funded and effective denial org (using the traditional sellout rationale, we can be more effetive at making change from the inside). API efforts have gotten a huge boost/cover from Ukraine invasion. The IPPC gave us ten years (now 8) to make drastic changes to GHG emissions, but gas prices/inflation give GOP big cudgel going into midterms, especially as corp Dems Sinema and Manchin (biggest FF recipient now that Imhofe is heading for exit) have stalled BBB (cf. McCoy Exxon lobbyist]. Ukraine is a watershed: it's either an impetus to decarbon or an excuse not to. It's given API the ability to run their talking points (energy dominance/security) non-stop on Fox.</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">
</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">BP's audit effort was also thwarted by its reliance on rhetoric vs action; all that's required is lip service to Paris and a vague net zero pledge. Dio made some other laudable efforts, e.g. Washington state carbon efforts, but she was pretty quickly shown the door and replaced by fracker.</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">The Big 4 (especially ) have quit/ defected from dome SAAB, but all remain in API, some professing the old we can change it better from with in canard; but API is by far the biggest and presumably most powerful lobby; and it allows the Big 4 to fight lkegislation and regulation it pretends to favor; plus presumably API is still funding (and directing?) the smaller and regional trade associations that fight bills and regs, eg Methane. Texas Oil & Gas Lawler is member; sold as bridge fuel, wer now know methane is 80 times mmore potent, and though it does not stay in atmosphere as long as C)2, what that means is cuts will have an imediate effect (in terms of say arctic sea ice that reflects sunlight). 50% reduction, quick and comparatively cheap, woud equal all Chinese coal plants? Big 4 opposed Trump rollback of Obama regs because they'd already spent the money to meet them?</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">
</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">Most outrageously, after fighting them for decades, and bemoaning how they hurt the economy (and accomlish nothing?), API now favors them over a price on methane; as Franta points out, whatever action is on the table, we are against it.</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">SAABs:</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">
</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">Just as the corporations stepped back and trade assocuations stepped up (buffer), state, sector and regional trade associations are most aggressive.</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">
