[link removed] [[link removed]]Dear John,
Fossil fuel companies learned decades ago that burning fossil fuels would lead to climate change, and that addressing the growing crisis could require burning fewer fossil fuels — making climate action a threat to industry profits.
In order to protect their bottom line, oil and gas companies masterminded a decades-long, multi-million dollar climate denial, disinformation, and deception campaign that stopped climate policy in its tracks.
We’ve shared the fossil fuel industry's history of disinformation and climate denial ⁠— and the legal case for climate accountability ⁠— through a series of Lunch & Learn programs. Now we’re pleased to announce a first-of-its-kind virtual learning series [[link removed]] from our partners at the Center for Climate Integrity [[link removed]] (CCI), focused on the growing movement to hold oil and gas companies accountable for their contributions to the climate crisis. This four-part series will include perspectives, commentary, and discussion on issues related to climate accountability from leading experts in the scientific, investigative, journalistic, and legal communities.
The series kicks off on Thursday, December 9 at 3 PM. Click to register for the first session and sign-up for all four sessions below!

Thursday, December 9 at 3 PM
Fossil fuel companies learned over 50 years ago that burning fossil fuels would lead to climate change, and were soon predicting “globally catastrophic effects.” Company executives recognized that addressing climate change could require burning fewer fossil fuels — making climate action a threat to industry profits. In order to protect their bottom line, oil and gas companies masterminded a decades-long, multi-million dollar climate denial, disinformation, and deception campaign that stopped climate policy in its tracks. Join leading experts in the field of climate accountability for a deep dive into the documentation of Big Oil’s deception (from past to present). Learn how the fossil fuel industry fits into the larger picture of modern-day corporate deception and how local communities (and U.S. Congress) are using this evidence to hold the industry accountable. Speakers will be announced in the coming weeks.
Hope you can join us for this event and others in this informative series,
Kathleen
