in the fossil fuel divestment movement, has a lobbyist with 14 separate oil and gas clients... The Environmental Defense Fund shares lobbyists with ExxonMobilF Minus, launched this month, says its goal is to demonstrate the extent to which fossil fuel lobbyists"are also representing people, schools, communities, and businesses being harmed by the climate crisis."
"When you hire these insider lobbyists, you are basically working with double agents. They are guns for hire. The information you share with them is probably going to the opposition." "Victims of the crisis and advocates for net-zero and other climate goals routinely hire lobbyists who are promoting further dependence on fossil fuels on behalf of their other clients," the group's research shows."F Minus is disrupting this dynamic and calling on people to fire their fossil fuel lobbyists."
"The motives for these conservation groups employing coal, oil, and gas lobbyists may vary," the group observes,"but the impact of this strategy is to help these fossil fuel lobbyists present themselves as environmentalists."Moreover,"some of the country's most climate-conscious local governments—and communities being hardest-hit by the climate crisis—employ lobbyists who also work for the fossil fuel industry," F Minus laments.
