Reposted by Iyla ShornsteinCenter for Climate Integrity @climateintegrity.org · 13/08/2025Do you think the fossil fuel industry should be above the law? For months now, we’ve heard rumblings of Big Oil companies lobbying Congress for a get-out-of-jail free card. But in the last few weeks, their allies have started to say the quiet part out loud.

Iyla Shornstein @iylas.bsky.social · 22/03/2025Here it comes. Not so thinly veiled efforts to grant legal protections for oil companies who KNEW (since the 1960s) and LIED (for decades) about their role in perpetuating the climate crisis. All while communities suffer the catastrophic consequences these companies knew would occur. Sickening. 063
