That's how much Big Oil has spent over the last 30 years paying off Congress to look the other way on climate action while the planet burns.
Well, the planet is burning.
Don't let them look away.

Oh shit yeah looks like that was Nixon, the rodeo clown might have a point. We could totally fine china.
Except we can’t. Totally tear-up the corporate charters of American companies though. Confusing?

Below .02 plant life dies.
8 billion people emit 2 lbs of co2 a day. Let's just thin the herd?!
They will never learn or get it.
Money can’t buy a new world or save the planet, only people can.
Never results in any real change, some people just like repeating "one side."
Nice try, hero.

Republicans will NEVER give up power again. Just like Russia - we'll have elections - they just won't mean anything.
And in 50 years - half the food will be gone.
This is how it all ends.

Insurers can seize a chunk of their profits (or Tillerson's estate) as reinsurance.

The American system is corrupt. Big Oil money buys politicians through Super PACs and so controls that nothing happens to reduce climate change.
See below Trump in 2020 promise that it will start to get cooler in Califormia. Trump is proud to help Big Oil.
According to Trump Science in 2020 it was supposed to get cooler in California.
Trump Science is also known as 'Lies benefiting Billionaires'.
The fossil fuel industri billionaires donating to Trump agrees with him by the way.

But America voted for a climate change denier AGAIN. How about that?
Trump and his Big Oil Billionaire friends won't help you...
It will only get worse:
I'm afraid there's more going on here than just climate change and big oil financing
This is why smart people know he’s just part of the problem.
Do not engage.
Block immediately.

If you're going to play the blame game, don't do it as if you weren't in the same line.

We don’t need money in politics. We just need people to participate.

All cults do it.
The industry averaged a profit of 3 billion dollars per DAY for the last 50 YEARS.
That’s roughly 55 trillion dollars in profit. What could 55 trillion dollars have done for the world since 1975?
Let's see how they like it when they burn.
Idgaf, I'll take as many of them with me as needed. If they don't show, they don't have a fucking thing to worry about. Roll up, squad deep, guess who's going to Valhalla with me? I'd love company 🤗
Keep up the fight!
Gavin Newsome and failed left wing policies are primary to blame for this.
These are facts.
Climate change is real and big oil needs to pay.
It's time to fuck the rich.
This is Chevon at some stations
Like... maybe we should pay congress a shit ton of money in exchange for their total lack of privacy?
If you’re gonna be corrupt at least do it well.
“drill baby drill” 🤦🏻♀️
betcha that money hoarding bunch won’t help the ravaged by catastrophic fires “not a penny” 😡
howingawdsname did anybody cast a vote for such an apocalyptic thug-crud??? 😵💫
This is the precipice of what's to come.
We need solutions.
We need local residents in every community to become active in pro action against weather extremes. Where are our goddamn local leaders for solutions? You are failing us.

55 years of kicking the can down the road for others, well the road ends now, time to pay up!
First,me,later me.
They will pay.
Some day hope no to late,will see at this lobbies asking for pardon
They will destroy everything rather than loose profits!!
I'm not sure OP got the data came from cause I went to OpenSecrets and added up the annual lobbying totals from 1998 - 2024 (26 years) from the Oil & Gas Industry, and it came out to $2,905,863,904

Interacting with posts, replying, reposting, quote posting, etc. This is pretty standard on algorithmic feed services like social media and streaming.
Sigh. Well thanks for doing the work. Most people can't be bothered. (I am part of most people.) So thank you.
We really are screwed here, aren't we
Every bite of meat is causing the destruction of the planet.
That steak?
Killing the planet.
That chicken salad?
Killing the planet.
That piece of bacon?
Killing the planet.
Also California refuses to do controlled burns.
These fires were a direct result of the Green New deal.
Your words.
"California refuses to do controlled burns."
Thank you.
But- not all victims are rich and have the big foot print are rich c and I feel very sorry for them.
Oppression is a profession.
You want to get rid of ranchers because their cows are a source of greenhouse gases?
How about being cold in the winter, hot in the summer because utilities have to continue to use coal-fired power plants?
Also MAGA when hurricanes ravish Florida: Dems caused this!
Unless they get dragged into it, that level of monster won't do shit.
Anything but his paymasters will be charged.
