No Immunity for the Fossil Fuel Industry

A coalition of organizations calls on Democratic leadership to reject efforts by the Trump administration and the fossil fuel industry to secure blanket waivers of liability for climate-related damages and deception.

• The fossil fuel industry has historically attempted to secure blanket liability waivers, with documented efforts occurring in 2017 and 2020, the latter of which was opposed by 60 Democratic House members.
• Approximately 25% of the US population lives in jurisdictions where state or local governments are currently suing major fossil fuel companies, such as ExxonMobil, for climate-related deception.
• The authors express concern that the Trump administration will facilitate industry efforts to pass liability waivers to shield companies from consequences for pollution and public deception.
