Some supportReported by 1 outlet

There is an escalating push to allow powerful and well-funded industries to operate above the law. Legislation has been introduced in Congress aiming to shield fossil fuel companies from any laws or lawsuits holding them accountable for their role in the climate crisis. Reports indicate that oil companies like ExxonMobil and Shell were aware in the 1970s that their products could cause environmental harm, yet they spent decades questioning the scientific consensus on climate change.
