"New files shed light on ExxonMobil’s efforts to undermine climate science" / "The new revelations are based on previously unreported documents subpoenaed by New York’s attorney general as part of an investigation into the company announced in 2015.

Very Good News. India is big, has plans of plans. India prepares and announces governmental actions so the private sector and states can coordinate. India's electricity is 75% coal, and their five year plan continued that. BUT Yesterday India announced, it "will not consider proposals for new coal plants for the next five years and focus on growing its renewables sector" Will Not Consider New Coal.

"Cops raided a smalltown newspaper so no-one would ever find out about police chief Gideon Cody's alleged sexual misconduct or Kari Newell's DUI conviction." Gideon Cody must be unhappy its not just in the local paper. Kari Newell hopes that no one see's his DUI conviction after these national reports. Barbara Streisand had no comment.
