  Oil Change International responds to Tillerson confirmation

  David Turnbull, February 1, 2017
  The Senators who voted to confirm Rex Tillerson voted for climate denial and they will be judged by the voters for that. We will make sure the voters know. We will demand a Separation of Oil and State.

  A California Climate Test?

  David Turnbull, January 27, 2017
  All is not lost for the climate test. A climate test could be applied at all levels of government, including at the state level. One state where such a policy appears ripe for formulation is California.

  David Turnbull, January 24, 2017
  We stopped Keystone XL and Dakota Access before and we’ll do it again. These are fights Trump and his bullies won’t win.

  Oil Change International Statement on First Morning of Tillerson Hearing

  David Turnbull, January 11, 2017
  Rex Tillerson seems determined to run US foreign policy like he ran Exxon: deny, evade, and even lie, in order to defend power and certainly without regard to any 'moral compass'.

  Oil Change International statement on offshore drilling announcement

  David Turnbull, December 20, 2016
  We congratulate President Obama for this historic action. As he knows, and as he stated when he rejected Keystone XL, ‘if we’re going to prevent large parts of this Earth from becoming not only inhospitable but uninhabitable in our lifetimes, we’re going to have to keep some fossil fuels in the ground.

  Don’t believe the hype: Does Rex Tillerson want to destroy our climate?

  David Turnbull, December 16, 2016
  Rex Tillerson’s efforts to paint a picture of moderation amount to nothing more than a ruthless public relations campaign to curry favor in the media. Meanwhile he has pursued a reckless path of continued oil and gas development in order to continue making as much money as possible for himself and his company, regardless of the consequences.
