Neither the Guardian article, nor his Wikipedia entry mention any lobbying for fossil fuels. Do you have a source for this?

It literally says he was CEO of Flint Global. It’s known they’ve lobbied for BP, but they don’t declare who they work for.

Well as someone who’s never heard of Flint Global, I think the fossil fuel link required supporting data.
Even still, having worked in the past for a company that did lobbying for many industries, one of which was fossils is still a ways from “fossil fuel lobbyist”. That sort of claim requires more direct evidence for me.
He is however the former chair of Friends of Israel though, so I think were on the same “fuck this guy” page.
