American Petroleum Institute also helped bury its own science on fossil-fuel related climate change, no surprise, but here's the story: Exxon's Oil Industry Peers Knew About Climate Dangers in the 1970s, Too

Happy New Year, miners, Instead of 145 million, this: "Peabody to pay $7.5 million into retiree health fund"

Peabody to pay $7.5 million into retiree health fund



"In its lawsuit Peabody said it was scheduled to pay $75 million into the health fund in January 2016 and $70 million in January 2017. It agreed to make those payments back in 2013, after Patriot’s first bankruptcy."

Go tell that long-tongue liar, you can run on for a long time, but sooner or later.... Reading up for next semester: Peabody, Exxon, Volkswagen, I know Ameren is in here somewhere too, they are all crooked.

Reading up on the #ExxonKnew case, and took me back to our old friends Peabody Coal, also under the lens; and reminded me of Volkswagen, and then I started thinking about all the shenanigans that Ameren is up to trying to dump more coal ash and dirty coal air on the St. Louis region -- are they are all crooked? They are all definitely fighting against science.  And, they are all working to make sure your future is a hot one.  

And, while I'm not a religious person, this  preacher-man has the right message, which then took me to old Johnny Cash, below... for inspiration.

In case you don't remember the lyrics, put your headphones on and turn it up:

You can run on for a long time, sooner or later God'll cut you down...
Go tell that long-tongue liar
Tell 'em that God's gonna cut 'em down
...
Well you may throw your rock and hide your hand,
Workin' in the dark against your fellow man,
But as sure as God made black and white,
What's done in the dark will be brought to the light
