Last night a sitting U.S. Senator and vice presidential candidate referred to the scientific consensus that fossil fuel pollution causes climate change as "weird science."

Here's how Big Oil envisioned "victory" for their climate deception campaigns👇

[John Shaw @johnburnhamshaw]

I am hiring a 2 yr post-doc on coastal channel morphodynamics. Coastal channels can have lots of loops and islands, and we don't really know why. Come theorize and analyze field and experimental data with the team here at Arkansas.

While Tim Walz was governor, Minnesota sued Exxon, Koch Industries, and the American Petroleum Institute for climate fraud.

Minnesota's case seeks to hold Big Oil accountable for deceiving consumers about the "potentially catastrophic consequences" of their fossil fuel products.

Kamala Harris was asked in 2019 if the federal government should play a role in investigating fossil fuel companies.

"Absolutely," she said. https://t.co/zfqCuyl4Xa

NEW: Big Oil and the plastics industry claim “advanced recycling” — aka burning plastic for fuel — is a solution to the plastic waste crisis.

But earlier this year, Shell admitted its 2025 goal is “unfeasible.”

Boulder's win against Exxon and Suncor is the 5th time that a state court has rejected Big Oil's motions to dismiss a climate accountability lawsuit.

“Sooner or later these companies will have to explain the evidence of their misconduct to a jury.”

Big Oil is backing a bill that would make "impairing the operation of" pipelines punishable by 20-years in prison. https://t.co/HbrXX6RsUl

🚨NEW STUDY: Wisconsin faces $16.7 billion in costs to protect communities from extreme heat, increasing precipitation, and other climate change impacts.

Big Oil caused this crisis. It’s time to make polluters pay their fair share. https://t.co/6qCqoDWsme

During the podcast, @climatecosts will break down the billions of climate costs that LA County is expected to face through 2040. We'll also explore what this means for local residents and learn how we can all be part of the solution to this pressing issue.

“Our investigation reveals Big Oil’s denial, disinformation, and doublespeak, all to lull the public into complacency about the enormous climate emergency we are in — and the role that Big Oil has played in bringing it about.” @RepRaskin🔥

[Center for Climate Integrity @climatecosts]

This #EarthDay, it's more important than ever to remember that we're in a plastic waste crisis because Big Oil and the plastics industry have lied for decades.

We're exposing their lies and demanding accountability. #PlanetVsPlastics #PlasticsTreaty #EarthDay2024

[Center for Climate Integrity @climatecosts]

It’s #EarthDay, and Big Oil is still lying.

Polluters can no longer deny climate change, so they engage in a new kind of deception: falsely claiming to be part of solutions.

We’re releasing a new guide to help identify and counter these 5 #BigOilLies ⬇️

[Allegheny County Councilman Dan Grzybek @ACDistrict5]

This past Wednesday we heard from @climatecosts about the tremendous infrastructure cost climate change will have on Allegheny County. In total, their study estimates it will cost the county over $1 billion to protect residents from phenomena like extreme heat and heavy rain.

"The plastics industry understands that selling recycling sells plastic, and they'll say pretty much whatever they need to say to continue doing that." @CBSNews on the latest @climatecosts report. #BreakFreeFromPlastic https://t.co/pGJwl2822S

[Center for Climate Integrity @climatecosts]

Plastic recycling is a fraud. Big Oil and the plastics industry have known it for decades. So why do they keep lying about it?

"The plastics industry understands that selling recycling sells plastic," CCI's @davisgallen told @CBSSunday about our recent investigation.

[Isabella Garcia @isabellaaliciaa]

Investing in climate adaptations now can save money — and lives — later, [@climatecosts President Richard Wiles] said.

“These costs are still coming,” Wiles said. “The next disaster will happen. This is just what it’s going to cost to prepare.”

NEW: Los Angeles County communities face a $12.5 billion bill to protect residents and infrastructure from climate change, according to our latest study with @Resil_Analytics.
