"The funding comes from #FossilFuel companies who then turn around and lobby the government for weaker climate policy & fund grassroots groups involved in #climate denial & #disinformation campaigns. That information isn't shared with teachers and students at these conferences. It feels insidious."

"As a former teacher teaching science curriculum, it mentioned #ClimateChange but the connection to the fossil fuel industry which provides the fuels, which are then burned, which then causes the carbon emissions, and that's what's climbing and causing climate change, that connection was missing."
"It needs to be in the public sphere & we need to get corporate #FossilFuel influence out. We need our governments to step up on this with full transparency and accountability to really address the trajectory we're on and the critical need to change course. It's URGENT."
"The importance of evidence based #ClimateChange education is all the more critical considering the corrupted information sphere in which we're all living. #BigTech funds algorithms that fuel messages to young people. It's really hard for young people to navigate this corrupted information sphere."

"The Alberta government's 2024 curriculum appears to have been developed with #BigOil involvement, directing teachers to discuss the benefits of #OilAndGas & their role in Alberta's economy. A recent report found an industry funded nonprofit lobbies to include this content in the curriculum."
"We're seeing a failure of government leadership to fully fund #ClimateChange education curriculum development, the resources & training teachers need. It needs public funding so it's accountable to us, not to a board including #FossilFuel representatives protecting their interests over those of students & teachers."
"We know young people are really suffering anxiety about the #ClimateCrisis. We have to be honest and we have to address this. With good publicly funded, #ClimateChange education."

"A really critical aspect of the #PetroPedagogy piece is both what is said & what isn't said. What isn't said is the role of the industry in driving #ClimateChange. Zero engagement on #ClimateJustice & the disproportionate impacts on the global South, folks on low income, racialized communities."
"Lots of #TechnoOptimism with #CarbonCature being represented as the big solution with no reference to it being tremendously expensive yet minimally effective or how it distracts us from the real solution, which is the transition away from #FossilFuels, a really critical aspect of #PetroPedagogy."
" #RedWashing is a term from the #YellowheadInstitute & #IndigenousScholarsPoint, & refers to how #BigOil seeks to represent its relationships with Indigenous peoples as entirely positive, excluding voices critical of them & resisting the way #Indigenous lands & waters are being destroyed."

"Petro Pedagogy works to insulate the fossil fuel industry from criticism & obfuscate the role of the #FossilFuels industry. Emphasizing individual actions, putting the onus on the consumer & obscuring the role of the industry itself in driving climate change. #Greenwashing is another tool."

Continued thread
The focus of this month's show is this #PollutingEducation report by Canadian Association of Physicians for the Environment (CAPE) & For Our Kids. Check it out! https://assets.nationbuilder.com/forourkids/pages/2782/attachments/original/1739848766/PollutingEducation_ReportSummary.pdf?1739848766 #BigOil #Petroganda #PetroPedagogy #abpoli #Climate #ClimateChange #EnergyTransition #CleanEnergy #Disinformation #Indoctrination #Propaganda
For nearly 50 years #BigOil slow-walked the world to disaster by lying about the danger of Climate Change & creating denial/doubt about the science & solutions. Our latest show digs in to a new report about how they're STILL doing it to our children in our schools
