Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) laws aim to hold plastic producers responsible for managing the waste they’ve created. But the success of EPR laws depends on, and reinforces, the idea that plastic is recyclable… when in reality, it's not. 😐

We're seeing warmer ocean waters and stronger, more rapidly intensifying hurricanes after Big Oil spent decades pushing denial, disinformation, and deception to delay climate action and protect fossil fuel profits.

It's time for accountability.

John Yoo thinks that communities shouldn’t have the right to sue Big Oil for lying about the safety of their products.

The law professor has also been accused of war crimes and been investigated for violations of domestic and international law. 🙄

Even if you think Big Oil is innocent, Big Oil knows they’re not.

@darkush.bsky.social of @publiccitizen.bsky.social explains why the fossil fuel industry is determined to bury the evidence of their climate deception — and how communities are fighting back.

The U.S. government will now provide more than $34 billion a year to the fossil fuel industry in subsidies — but Chris Wright, the country’s top energy official, is claiming that those subsidies… don’t exist.

Big Oil is facing dozens of lawsuits over its decades-long climate deception. Rather than face a jury, Big Oil is now lobbying Congress for a legal shield.

“We should not be putting the interests of a corporate entity over the interests of our citizens," says Essex County Commissioner Brendan Gill.

@iylas.bsky.social pointed out why the insurance industry needs to break up with Big Oil.

NPR’s @michaelcopley1.bsky.social asked about growing calls for insurance companies to take steps to make fossil fuel companies pay for climate damages.

“There’s a real price tag” to climate disasters and “someone needs to pay for that,” said Ben Franta of @smithschool.ox.ac.uk

Former congressional investigator Aria Kovalovich talked about new evidence of Big Oil’s climate deception obtained last year through a joint House-Senate investigation.

“When you have an industry that has spent so much time lying about the problem, until the point where they can’t anymore ... they start lying about the solutions,” @iylas.bsky.social said of Big Oil and climate change.

Last year, Hurricane Helene tore through the southeastern U.S., causing up to 50% more rainfall in some parts of Georgia and the Carolinas than we would have seen in a cooler world.

CCI's @kellysanks.bsky.social unpacks why Big Oil must be held accountable for fueling more destructive hurricanes.

Ten years ago, the world learned that #ExxonKnew as early as the 1970s that its fossil fuel business would fuel a climate crisis — but that they purposefully buried the science to protect their profits.

Why are New Jersey residents paying for climate disasters that Big Oil knowingly fueled?

"100-year floods happening every five to ten years...really cause havoc,” explains Essex County Commissioner Brendan Gill. “It shouldn’t be up to the average citizen to pay for what they did."
