Koch Carbon Kings a Driving Force Behind the U.N. Deadlock in Doha
"Bloomberg’s Billionaire Index recently ranked the Carbon Kings' net worth ($80.2B) as greater than that of the world’s wealthiest man, Carlos Slim ($71.8B), and the Kochs are using that money to kill any chance of United States climate legislation and convince America that "energy independence" is more important than cooking the planet. The report explains how the Kochs’ campaign contributions, lobbying legislators, funding climate denialists, attacking clean air laws, and stopping the shift in subsidies from fossil fuels has helped to halt any serious progress on climate policy in the United States. The result is a deadlock in addressing the global climate crisis."
