Prominent environmentalist Shellenberger trashes Tom Steyer as ‘billionaire fossil fuel magnate turned megalomaniacal Democratic presidential candidate’

"This year we honor Tom Steyer and Kat Taylor for their extraordinary leadership"

If this kind of corruption were depicted in a movie or TV show it would be dismissed by critics as propaganda.

In fact, it's real life, and it's happening right in front of us pic.twitter.com/K6t2mV5s1c

And it’s not just @SierraClub @TomSteyer has literally bought off the entirety of the so-called environmental movement including @NRDC @EnvDefenseFund Center for American Progress

Head of Sierra Club calls billionaire fossil fuel magnate turned megalomaniacal Democratic presidential candidate "another climate champ."

Not the Onion, sadly.

I'm sure the millions $$ @TomSteyer gave @SierraClub had nothing to do with @bruneski's abasement https://t.co/GN9UzeFJiO

The truth is that @SierraClub never stopped taking fossil fuel money after 2012. On the contrary, it’s taken taken $136 million from nat gas/ renewables interests including @MikeBloomberg & @TomSteyer that stand to profit from closing nuclear plantshttps://t.co/RHoDrGDyV1

Tom Steyer is worth $1.7 billion and now he’s asking middle-class people for money

It’s not going wellhttps://t.co/YIJNxlSoqY

Oh wow this just gets better & better

In launching his $100M presidential campaign, billionaire fossil-renewables magnate @TomSteyer denounces corporations as heartless

Meanwhile he’s refusing to recognize the union of his corporation’s exploited workers

Can’t make this up pic.twitter.com/V9Radd99p5

But the corruption of @SierraClub is most hypocritical given that @bruneski denounced his predecessor @CarlPope for *identically corrupt behavior*: taking $ from nat gas industryhttps://t.co/7tV6TmWpoi
