2026 is on track to become the second calendar year to exceed 1.5°C warming.

Big Oil remains the most significant obstacle to reducing planet-warming emissions.

Big Oil knew decades ago that burning fossil fuels would drive "catastrophic" climate impacts. Instead of taking steps to save lives, the industry spent billions denying the science and blocking clean energy.

Accountability for Big Oil's decades of deception is not a solution to the climate crisis on its own, but ensuring that fossil fuel corporations cannot continue to lie with impunity is a necessary step.
