At last week's Vatican Climate Summit, Gavin Newsom rightfully called out fossil fuel companies for spreading climate lies for decades.

California is fighting in court to hold Big Oil accountable for the industry's ongoing deception.

The lone climate scientist on Exxon's board is ending a tenure marked by the company's increasing oil production and attacks on climate action.

Her last day is Exxon's AGM next week, where tensions could come to a head.

.Sheldon Whitehouse and Rep. Jamie Raskin have formally referred their investigation into the fossil fuel industry’s climate deception to the Justice Department — a major development.

The only climate scientist ever to serve on Exxon's board is jumping ship amid rising outrage about its increasing oil & gas production, ongoing disinformation campaigns, & attacks on shareholders who tried to push for change.

Our expansive Oversight Committee Democrats and Senate Budget Committee investigation revealed that Big Oil has been pushing climate disinformation since at least the 1960s.

We urge the Department of Justice to investigate this shocking and lawless betrayal of our people.

'This is the most substantive and consequential call yet for the Justice Department to take action against Big Oil companies for their ongoing and catastrophic campaign of lies.'

.Lisa Desjardins: 'Are you saying here that you believe Big Oil is complicit in climate change and the harm from climate change in the way Big Tobacco was found to be harming Americans with cigarettes?'

Rep. Jamie Raskin: 'Absolutely. It's a very close analogy...'

'We're calling on the Department of Justice today to investigate Big Oil for its decades-long disinformation campaign to mislead the American public about the climate effects of fossil fuels and to obstruct meaningful action on climate change.'

👏👏 Rep. Jamie Raskin & Sheldon Whitehouse

This is exactly the kind of fight that the Justice Department should be picking on behalf of the American people. Sheldon Whitehouse and Rep. Jamie Raskin call it 'a matter of basic due diligence.' With this explicit an invitation, what's stopping Garland from stepping up to the plate?

'The Center for Climate Integrity, which encourages communities to file the lawsuits, called for Garland to investigate the [oil] industry shortly after he was confirmed, noting the agency has considerable authority to do so.'

Yes, we did, and DOJ does. 👏subscriber.politicopro.com/article/eenews…

We agree with Rep. Jamie Raskin & Sheldon Whitehouse: It's time for DOJ to investigate Big Oil.

'If there's no accountability, and there's no truth, then there's no progress. The deception and the deceit must end for us to seriously confront the magnitude of the climate crisis we are in.'

We will be watching! 👀

ExxonMobil saw a “limited” role for carbon capture and storage in fighting climate change.

But the oil giant still promoted the false solution in its advertising campaigns.

DeSmog reports on new evidence unearthed by Senate Budget Committee & Oversight Committee Democrats.

Big Oil and Big Tobacco both knew they were selling dangerous products — and lied about it.

At a Senate Budget Committee hearing earlier this month, Rep. Jamie Raskin called out the industries' similar tactics.

Like Big Tobacco, Big Oil must be held accountable. climateintegrity.org/news/senate-he…

When it comes to addressing climate change, “American fossil-fuel corporations are the worst of the worst,” and as our Senate Budget Committee hearing showed, they’re lying about it still.
