5:44Now PlayingOn the surface, it appears that President Obama is continually throwing his support behind action on climate change. But when you really look at what he’s doing, you can see that he’s completely influenced by the fossil fuel industry. Ring of Fire’s Mike Papantonio and Farron Cousins discuss this.
From DesmogBlog: On Monday, April 25th, President Barack Obama tweeted out the following message to nearly 74 million followers on Twitter: We're already seeing the effects of climate change. Denial is unacceptable. #ActOnClimate
The tweet garnered thousands of shares and likes, and on the surface it appeared to be a genuine plea for action on climate change. But as we've seen all too often from this administration, what they say in public rarely matches what takes place behind closed doors.
Less than one day after President Obama tweeted out that message on climate change, David Sirota and Ned Resnikoff from the International Business Times aimed a spotlight at the Obama administration's hypocrisy in an investigative piece that exposed again the fossil fuel industry's influence over our government. Prior to that, the Public Accountability Initiative had revealed the massive influence that the industry had over the government's assessment of the economic impacts of offshore drilling.
