‘The long and tangled history of Big Oil and the media provokes the question: Should the mere fact that misleading ads are not technically illegal be enough for news outlets to consider this practice ethical or fair to the public?”— @amywestervelt https://www.thenation.com/article/environment/media-fossil-fuel-ads/
“The dominant narrative tells us that it’s our fault. We left the lights on too long, didn’t close the refrigerator door, and didn’t recycle our paper. Don’t give in to that shame. It’s not yours. The oil and gas industry is gaslighting you.”— @MaryHeglar https://www.vox.com/first-person/2018/10/11/17963772/climate-change-global-warming-natural-disasters
“This story of “us” consuming our way to oblivion, with the oil companies innocently fulfilling “our” insatiable greed for fuel, is just a lie.”— @amywestervelt https://popula.com/2019/08/19/the-case-for-climate-rage/
“I want to change the narrative around our climate crisis, to make it more intersectional, more emotional. More inclusive. In other words, I want to make it whole. I don’t want a fact-finding mission. I want a truth-telling movement.”— @MaryHeglar https://www.inverse.com/culture/58632-mary-annaise-heglar
“Comparing coronavirus to climate change is like comparing apples to the whole idea of fruit. Climate change is not one single issue or threat. It’s the hill we’re all dying on, made steeper by each wrong step, each failure to move.”— @amywestervelt https://www.huffpost.com/entry/coronavirus-climate-change-fossil-fuel-profits_n_5e786da4c5b6f5b7c547329e
“My climate grief and my grief about the coronavirus pandemic feel devastatingly similar. Both crises represent tectonic shifts in the way the world works. Both bring a sense of finality, that ‘nothing will ever be the same again.’”— @MaryHeglar https://newrepublic.com/article/157059/climate-grief-taught-coronavirus
“No climate policy that allows the fossil fuel industry to continue to have influence has a chance at delivering the sort of radical transformation required to stave off the worst effects of climate change.”— @amywestervelt https://link.medium.com/6tCxW9mtT5
“Even if I can only save a sliver of what is precious to me, that will be my sliver and I will cherish it. If I can salvage just one blade of grass, I will do it. I will make a world out of it. And I will live in it and for it.”— @MaryHeglar https://link.medium.com/zyKPR0stT5
“The neat trick of individual choices narrative is that it takes American individualism & weaponizes it, sending people spinning in circles of guilt, blissfully ignorant that their choices have been constrained by a powerful few.”— @amywestervelt https://link.medium.com/3JhfzBStT5
“Yes, it's true that you can't solve the climate crisis alone, but it's even more true that we can't solve it without you. It's a team sport.”— @MaryHeglar https://www.wired.com/story/what-you-can-do-solve-climate-change/
