Abstract: The 1998 US Master Settlement Agreement (MSA) involving $246 billion in payments from the major US tobacco companies to the 50 states over 25 years to compensate for tobacco-related costs to state public medical insurance, is the largest financial reckoning ever of an industry to the public.<\/p>\n<p>The process, reasoning, and debates surrounding the tobacco MSA offer a model for holding the fossil fuel industries accountable for their role in denying, covering-up, and lobbying against climate change policy, even as their internal records show they have been well aware of the consequences since at least the 1970s.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Date: 3 November <\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Time: 6pm-7:30pm<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Location: KS11<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.kent.ac.uk\/polir-news\/files\/2022\/10\/Yogi-.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-5316\" src=\"http:\/\/blogs.kent.ac.uk\/polir-news\/files\/2022\/10\/Yogi-.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"665\" height=\"922\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dr Yogi Hendlin joins for Centre for Critical Thought from Erasmus University Rotterdam for our November research seminar.
