In 1998, the American Petroleum Institute, the largest US trade association for the oil and gas industry, laid out a plan to defeat government action on climate change through a multimillion dollar programme, to be enacted over several years. Part of this plan was to create a centre with a board of climate scientists that would have the mission of advancing scientific uncertainty. “The center will be funded at a level that will permit it to succeed, including funding for research contracts.
Hundreds of Stanford students, alumni, faculty, and staff began signing a separate open letter early this year calling on Stanford’s Doerr School of Sustainability to refuse fossil fuel funds.Backed with a $1.1bn gift from venture capitalist John Doerr, it will be Stanford’s first new school in 70 years, and it will eventually swallow other Stanford centres financed with fossil fuel money, such as the Natural Gas Institute.
Before she went to Stanford, Scott-Buechler worked for several years on climate change policy for a US senator and witnessed fossil fuel companies highlighting their funding of universities when asking congressional staff to change climate bills and water them down. “MIT and Stanford were the two that I saw the most frequently [cited] to say, ‘We are working on solutions. We’re committed to climate action.
