Sue Big Oil is closely watching Boulder, Colorado’s important case against corporate deception. Citizens want their day in court. Big oil wants to shut it down. #SueBigOil #MakePollutersPay

Center for Climate Integrity@climateintegrity.org · 2d ago

The U.S. Supreme Court should allow Boulder's climate deception lawsuit against ExxonMobil and Suncor Energy to keep moving toward trial, a wide range of elected officials, legal scholars, public interest groups, and others argued in amicus briefs filed with the court today.

These are not just fires. These are not just heatwaves. These are not just smoky skies. These are climate disasters that Big Oil knew decades ago would become more deadly and destructive if we kept burning fossil fuels. Instead of warning the public, Big Oil lied. There must be accountability NOW.

Across Canada, summer has become a season of harrowing headlines & #climateimpacts – from #heatwaves and record-breaking #wildfires to intense storms and flooding in multiple provinces. 🧵#extremeweather #climatechange

The New York Times reports that our latest investigation — "The Fraud of 'Clean' Natural Gas" — "casts a harsh light on how the oil and gas industry has previously communicated the role of natural gas in global warming." They knew. They lied. And they must be held accountable.

NEW: Big Oil and Gas created the myth that natural gas is "clean" — despite knowing the health and climate harms of methane decades earlier than previously reported. A major CCI investigation exposes how the gas industry deceived the public and policymakers into believing gas is a climate solution.

Big Oil is lashing out at respected U.S. scientists for saying extreme event attribution, or EEA, now allows us to investigate how human-caused climate change increases floods, storms and heatwaves. Here’s what the researchers found:

IMPORTANT: “For decades, fossil fuel companies have hidden behind a simple defence: we only produce the product. The driver filling a tank…they are the ones burning it, not us. The Paris court has now dismantled that argument. The consumer alibi, the industry’s most lucrative fiction, is over.”
