John,
This week, we saw two tremendous signs that the tide is turning against
the fossil fuel industry for good.
In New York, State Attorney General Tish James brought ExxonMobil to court
on charges of shareholder fraud, and over 50 of us rallied outside in
solidarity. A day later, former ExxonMobil researchers and scientists
appeared before Congress to explain the company’s role in deceiving the
public for decades about climate change.
These are huge steps towards holding Big Oil accountable for the damage
they’ve done to our communities and climate — but we still have a long way
to go. [ [link removed] ]Sign this petition now to keep the momentum alive and send a
clear message to world governments: it’s time to make corporate polluters
pay.
We don’t share equal responsibility for or vulnerability to the climate
crisis. Just 100 companies cause 71% of all emissions. And 70% of global
emissions come from a single dirty source: fossil fuels.
The climate crisis is a crisis of economics, and it’s time for the false
narrative of energy access limited to coal, oil, and gas to end. The rich
may be responsible for worsening storms and devastating oil spills, but
it’s the poor — in the Global South, in Indigenous nations, and in
communities of color — who are paying the price. While we struggle to
survive displacement and disease caused by corporate greed, the rich are
only getting richer.
We can’t confront the climate crisis without also confronting our
corporate-run economy. [ [link removed] ]Act now and tell world governments it’s time to
make Big Polluters pay for their destruction of people and the planet.
Forward,
Dominique
