Center for Climate Integrity @climateintegrity.org · 02/10/2026
Ahead of Monday's arguments in Suncor v. Boulder, CCI President Richard Wiles explains why Big Oil companies are "absolutely terrified" of climate deception lawsuits and desperate to stop them from going to trial. "The evidence of Big Oil’s climate lies is overwhelming."

Fossil fuel companies are desperate to escape trial in climate deception lawsuits. The Supreme Court should not shield them from accountability.

Samuel Alito has recused himself from a Supreme Court climate case, after ethics watchdogs uncovered his fossil fuel stockholdings. Instead of relying on the justices to occasionally do the right thing, we need Congress to enact real SCOTUS reform.

Donald Trump is like AI itself—over confident, often wrong, and prone to hallucinating facts. His “morally binding” agreement means nothing. We can’t let Big Tech regulate itself. Congress must act now.

3.7–3.9 million tonnes of pesticide active ingredients are used worldwide every year — more than double the amount in 1990. Most of us never see the fields. But this invisible flood is saturating soil, water, pollen, and nectar. Our food system is being quietly poisoned at industrial scale.

Solar passed nuclear in Texas 2 years ago. Now it's double. Texas is what makes this chart powerful. This isn't green ideology winning. It's pure economics. Solar is cheap, modular, scalable & incredibly fast to deploy. Wind keeps growing too. When economics take over, ideology becomes irrelevant.
