Jack, 

 

At a recent Senate Budget Committee hearing on Big Oil's denial, disinformation, and doublespeak, evidence of the fossil fuel industry's harmful climate deception only continued to grow. The fossil fuel industry has known for decades that their products are dangerous to a stable climate and human wellbeing; yet they continue to lie, deceive, and delay meaningful action.

 

It's time for the Department of Justice (DOJ) to look into the significant evidence of deceptive behavior from Big Oil.

Urge Attorney General Merrick Garland to launch an investigation into the fossil fuel industry's coordinated effort to mislead the public and policymakers, just like it did with Big Tobacco.

We need action at the highest levels of government to hold this powerful industry accountable for the harm it has caused to people and the planet.

Given the immense harm that this industry has already caused and the rapidly worsening climate crisis, the DOJ must act urgently to hold the fossil fuel industry accountable, and seek to force it to change its business practices and make restitution for the damage it has caused.

Thank you for your support,
