Billionaire industrialist David Koch, who spent vast sums of his billions in personal fortune promoting climate denialism and other right wing causes over the last four decades, died Friday at 79.

One of the causes Koch dumped his fortune into promoting was climate crisis denialism.

"Let's not forget the massive network of oil pipelines, refineries, and fossil fuel expansion projects that David Koch was directly responsible for," said Houska.

"He funded climate deniers while he contributed to climate change, in the range of a 300 million ton carbon footprint annually.".
