New York Times climate and energy reporter Hiroko Tabuchi linked the oil and gas industry (which she covers) to white supremacy in a since-deleted tweet which read:
I’ve been thinking a lot about fossil fuels and white supremacy recently. Almost every single oil executive, lobbyist, spokesperson I’ve dealt with is white and male. It’s difficult not to see a link.
That slur on an entire industry came on October 1, inspired by Tabuchi’s reading of an article, “Proud Boys and petro-masculinity,” from an activist climate website.
Other potentially offensive tweets have also disappeared from her account, but one, still standing as of now, appears to reference her deleted “white supremacy” comment.
Here’s the original tweet:
Setting aside the offensive claim, isn’t who she deals with at least partly her fault for lazy reporting? Are there truly no female executives in the industry to speak with?
The unearthed tweet is shocking without being surprising. Tabuchi has long taken an arch angle on her beat.
Newsbusters has documented her history of peculiar, biased reporting on environmental issues and her ideological war against conservatives.
In September 2019, she unearthed “secretive…conservative” groups fighting counter-productive regulations, putting herself in the strange position of embracing corporate public-relations-speak from dishwasher manufacturers, in the cause of defending regulations.
In July 2019, she used another leak from liberals to aggressively label industry “deniers” of drastic climate change.
In January 2017, in an echo of the new “white supremacy” smear, she found a left-wing environmentalist to smear as “racist” the effort by libertarian industrialists Charles and David Koch to convert minorities to their viewpoint on energy issues.

Here is the connection between climate change and racism.

The connection between climate change and racism is simpler. Climate alarmists are the racists. The promotion alarmism has seen developing countries (such as African nations) deprived of any Western-financed energy infrastructure investment for at least a decade. This is effectively racism.
The lesson is simple: when we pursue neo-Malthusian policies like climate alarmism – someone, somewhere is being killed.
I am retired from the oil& gas industry after 35 plus years of honorable service (mostly) in regulatory affairs. This continued vilification of an industry that provides 65% of our nations primary energy is unjustified. No, there is NO EVIDENCE that “Exxon Knew” and NO oil & gas is NOT like tobacco as it is a vital resource that contributes each & every day to our modern lifestyle. This current line of attack is basically, a “high wire act without a net.” NONE of these environmental activists offer a constructive alternative to REPLACE fossil fuels. “100% renewables by X Date” is a SLOGAN and has no basis in reality. Demonizing energy PROVIDERS will do NOTHING in the course of a successful energy transition in the decades to come. White supremacy? Give me a break…
Great post Randy; I agree with everything you say. The green movement is a fraud and the brainchild of the United Nations for global governance. Thus the green movement has nothing to do with the environment; however, there are many greenies that don’t even understand this… they are being duped. Remember the ” green” political parties around the world are called Watermelon parties…. Green on the outside, Red on the inside.
She’s just another men-hating dumb lesbian who’s also a racist.
