Big Oil: You broke it, you pay for it

Write to your Senator and Representative and ask them to add their name to the Polluters Pay Climate Fund Act

A groundbreaking piece of legislation needs your support.

The world just experienced its hottest summer ever. Wildfires have torn through the United States. Americans are now bracing for one of the worst hurricane seasons on record.

It’s time to make polluters pay for the damage this is doing.

Emissions from burning oil, gas and coal are cooking the planet and super-charging deadly heatwaves, floods and storms.

Several major fossil fuel firms knew for decades about the climate impacts of their products, but they ignored scientific advice and denied the climate crisis was happening.

The Polluters Pay Climate Fund Act can help redress this injustice by making fossil fuel companies pay for some of the damage they’re doing to America.

This would create a $1 trillion fund that would pay for climate disaster relief and efforts to help keep us cool and safe. They can afford it - in 2023 the top five oil and gas producers in the US made over $74 billion in profits.

Write to your Senator and Representative and ask them to add their name to the Polluters Pay Climate Fund Act. We need to say to Big Oil: You broke it, you pay for it.
