Douglas McIntyre, Editor-in-Chief at Climate Crisis 24/7, highlights an explosive statement by U.S. Senator Sheldon Whitehouse, who accuses his colleagues of cowardice and blames the fossil fuel industry for running a decades-long propaganda campaign. In an interview with The Guardian, Whitehouse emphasized that the industry is avoiding responsibility for environmental damage and benefiting from massive subsidies. McIntyre notes that a growing number of legal actions across the country aim to hold oil companies accountable for knowingly hiding the dangers of fossil fuel pollution.
