Fernando Minna, who served as policy adviser to Conservative MP Phil Coleman for over four years before signing on with the Capital Hill Group last month, has had a busy week.
Minna registered for several California-based tech companies, as well as CyberNB Association Inc., which put him at the top of the list for most new registrations this past week.
According to the filings, he’ll be working with the California-based tech company,
Adobe to try and increase awareness within government for possible future procurement opportunities.
In the face of the climate emergency, this is the time of our Phoney War. Most of us know the battle for our lives must soon get underway, and most of our leaders in government and industry are now talking tough on climate. But in deeds, they aren’t there yet.
Among the many barriers we face to a genuine climate emergency plan is a fossil fuel industry that has insidiously used its economic and political power to stall meaningful action. If this story has a villain, it is the oil and gas corporations and their leaders (not their workers) who outright lied for decades about the truth of climate change, and more recently have done everything in their power to systematically delay and divert the need for climate action. The fossil fuel industry, in pursuit of its financial self-interest and preservation, has become expert at preying on our fears, misgivings and desires.

LONDON (Reuters) â BP said on Monday it will remain a member of the American Petroleum Institute (API) after the largest U.S. oil and gas trade lobby group addressed some differences with the British energy company over climate change.
BP, which plans to sharply cut its oil output and boost its renewable energy capacity over the next decade, said in a report that despite âuneven progressâ, the API was âheading in the right directionâ.
The API has faced growing pressure from member companies and activist groups to change its policies relating to climate change and drilling regulations.
