  Break the #ClimateSilence: Time for a new conversation

  David Turnbull, September 13, 2017
  When the next hurricane or wildfire or other climate impact comes, I hope to see as many journalists barging through the halls of government demanding answers from decision-makers as we see braving the elements reporting on the front lines. That's the #climatesilence that needs breaking.

  Statement Ahead of Trump Tax Restructuring Speech

  David Turnbull, September 6, 2017
  It’s unfortunately fitting that Trump chose an oil refinery to stage his speech on ‘reforming’ the tax code. He’s railed against special interest loopholes, but Trump’s so-called energy dominance agenda relies on massive taxpayer handouts to oil, gas, and coal companies.

  David Turnbull, July 12, 2017
  Governor Brown’s latest climate package perpetuates the myth that business as usual in the fossil fuel industry can go on with only a few small adjustments, and everything will be fine. That view may fly in the petrodollar soaked halls in Sacramento, but climate science and the health and wellbeing of communities living next to industry have a different perspective.

  Oil Change International Responds to Trump’s ‘Energy Week’ Speech

  David Turnbull, June 29, 2017
  The 'energy dominance' tagline should be called out for what it is: another manifestation of the President’s misogynistic, hyper-masculine, abusive outlook on the world.

  David Turnbull, June 27, 2017
  Trump's energy week and health care bill have a lot in common. Both would redistribute wealth up from ordinary Americans to the wealthiest. Both would make people sick. Both would cost lives.
