E&E News: States target oil giantsโ wealth as climate damages rise
Legislators aim to use climate superfund programs to force oil companies to help cover the cost of global warming. A member of Congress wants to stop them.
The fossil fuel industry is escalating its effort to avoid accountability. As more than a dozen states & communities move closer to putting Big Oil on trial, and as climate superfund laws begin to take hold, the industry is turning to Congress for protection.

โSomeone has to pay โ and it will be us, if Big Oil gets immunity,โ said Shemona Moreno of @350seattle.bsky.social.
Big Oil knowingly fueling the climate crisis, and communities are paying the price.
Congress must protect our right to hold polluting corporations accountable.
