The U.S. Senate just passed a reconciliation bill that eliminates environmental protections, takes a sledgehammer to the rapidly growing clean energy economy, and distributes major giveaways to Big Oil and other corporate polluters.
It is imperative that States heed the recommendations of the Human Rights Treaty Bodies (HRTBs) as part of a rights-based approach to climate governance and fossil fuels phaseout.
As the Senate takes up the reconciliation bill, a new campaign called Families Over Big Oil is launching to expose how Republican leaders are slashing programs that support working families to bankroll billions in tax breaks for Big Oil. The campaign highlights Senate budget’s $18 billion in new oil and gas giveaways– and how families will pay the price.

Today, 188 groups based in communities burdened by gas infrastructure and their allies throughout the United States sent a letter to EU Commissioners asking them to refuse to bow to U.S. President Donald Trump’s pressure to increase the bloc’s reliance on LNG or other fossil fuel imports from the United States.
In response to the International Energy Agency (IEA)’s just-released report on the greenhouse gas emissions of liquefied natural gas (LNG), Oil Change International Research Director Lorne Stockman said:

Annual Banking on Climate Chaos reports $429 billion of 2024 dollars are to fossil fuel expanding companies; totaling $1.6 trillion to these companies since 2021
If these four countries - United States, Canada, Norway, and Australia - which Oil Change International dubs “Planet Wreckers”, halted their planned new oil and gas extraction, 32 billion tonnes (Gt) of carbon pollution would be kept in the ground. This is equivalent to three times the annual emissions of all the world’s coal power plants combined.
