Ocean acidification, extreme marine heatwaves, and mass coral bleaching events aren't happening by accident. New research from the Oxford Sustainable Law Programme shows Big Oil knew since at least the 1980s that its products would "decimate global coral reefs," reports @rachelreports.bsky.social.

It's that why they dumped all the oil into the Gulf of Mexico? To move it along?

I can't 'love' that Big Oil and investors and politicians were so greedy. I hate that so much has and will be desttroyed because of this ignorant denial of reality. Keep fossil fuels in the ground. Get your energy from heaven, not hell.

Big oil knew all the damage they were doing for decades! It’s time for them to pay for the damage they have done to our home planet for no good reason.

I snorkelled the Great Barrier Reef off Australia in 1997 and the coral was bleached then. I expected the usual vivid coral colors. What I saw was beige, beige, and beige. The fish were spectacular, though.
