Jack, for decades, Big Fossil Fuel companies like ExxonMobil, Shell, BP, Chevron, and more have engaged in a systematic and calculated campaign to mislead the public and discredit the science of climate change. Despite possessing knowledge as early as the 1970s about the catastrophic consequences of fossil fuel impacts on global warming, these entities chose profit over planet, spreading doubt and misinformation to stall action on climate change.
Sign the petition: Hold Big Fossil Fuel accountable for lying about climate change!
SIGN THE PETITION
The consequences of their actions are undeniable and catastrophic. The year 2023 was marked as Earth's warmest year on record, with global temperatures soaring 1.48 degrees Celsius higher than the late 19th century averages--signaling a clear and present danger to our environment and humanity's future.
The legal precedent for holding Big Fossil Fuel accountable exists and has been successfully applied in the past. The landmark case against tobacco companies for misleading the public about the health risks of smoking serves as a blueprint for action.
Cities like Chicago and states like California have already taken bold steps by filing lawsuits against these oil giants for their role in fueling the climate crisis and the resultant damages. The Department of Justice must follow suit.
Sign the petition to the Department of Justice: Hold the fossil fuel industry accountable. Sue the industry for violation of federal racketeering laws, truth in advertising laws, consumer protection laws, and potentially other laws.
SIGN THE PETITION
Thanks for all you do,
