They claimed traffic congestion was caused by trains, street cars, wide sidewalks, urban neighborhoods... So we destroyed all those things to "solve traffic", yet traffic is worse than ever. Now they're blaming bike lanes? It has always just been cars - cars cause congestion.

Big car safe?

You mean mass redundancies, the evisceration of entire disciplines, rampant managerialism, and the fanatic embrace of a profit-driven model of scholarship haven't fostered a climate of open inquiry and big ideas? Who could've known?! 🤷‍♂️ theguardian.com/australia-news…

Wild new study about oil and gas infiltration of academia. 'We know of hundreds of conflicts of interest,' says @GeoffreySupran. Read more in @DeSmog desmog.com/2024/09/05/how…

👀👀 "We find that universities are an established yet under-researched vehicle of climate obstruction by the fossil fuel industry, and that universities' lack of transparency about their partnerships with this industry poses a challenge to empirical research."

NEW: In @WIREs_Reviews today, our latest peer-reviewed research shows fossil fuel companies have systematically infiltrated academia, threatening to bias research and undermine meaningful climate action. THREAD. 📰Open access: bit.ly/FossilFUniv

How does the Fossil Fuel industry influence universities? Here’s the first comprehensive review. In addition to funding research they also sit on governing boards, sponsor professorships, career fairs and even influence curricula. Take a peek: wires.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/wc…
