When I think about those doing the bidding of the fossil fuel industry, I usually imagine a scenario when an executive (or their assistant) makes a call delivering a message that is basically...
"Jump."
and the response on the other end is...
"HOW HIGH BOSS!?!?"
I'm sure this DOES happen but

Remembering the Bill Gates memo arguing he could do more good for the poor if he deprioritized climate change.

Don’t let the confusion fool you! Louisiana still has major races and amendments on the May 16 ballot—early voting is underway, so make a plan to vote. When we show up, we decide what happens in our communities and who holds power.
