Since these letters to the editor got published, the Senate has passed historic climate legislation. If signed into law, the bill, formally known as the Inflation Reduction Act, would allocate $369 billion to reducing greenhouse gas emissions and investing in renewable energy sources. While this is an important opportunity, there's still a lot to do - especially to hold the fossil fuel industry accountable.
A big part of winning the fight against the fossil fuel industry is about winning the media fight. Fossil fuel companies spend billions of dollars hiring PR firms to confuse the public and spread disinformation. It’s our job to set the record straight.
The media needs to make one thing about extreme weather very clear: the fossil fuel industry is to blame.
And saying it once isn't enough. We are calling on the media to report on the culprits of this devastation until they are held responsible by the broader public and the politicians they bankroll.
It is more important now than ever before that the media, the public, and our politicians hold the fossil fuel industry accountable for causing the heatwaves, wildfires, droughts, and floods we’re seeing today. Please take action with us today:
Thank you for helping us build the pressure we need to defeat the fossil fuel industry.
