Big Oil is at the Supreme Court today facing accountability for decades of deception and harm to our climate. We know that no court can deliver all the justice that communities deserve but the Supreme Court can start by having these corporations pay their share of the climate crisis’ costs.

Scientists could not be more clear: if we do not make meaningful strides to tackle the climate crisis, the damage done to our oceans will be permanent. This would mean the loss of critical wildlife and more dangerous flooding which threatens the lives of millions of people.
