Methane is often sold as “natural gas.” But when it leaks, it’s one of the most powerful climate pollutants there is. At #BigGasPolluters, we track methane pollution because it’s frequently underreported, hard to detect, & deeply harmful to our climate and our health. ➡️ BigGasPolluters.org.

Sharing some good news from Guatemala, where Maya Kaqchikel and Xinka water defenders have announced a major victory. ✊

#BigGasPolluters was created to hold fossil fuel companies accountable at a moment when regulation is being weakened. We connect satellite data, on-the-ground investigations, & peer-reviewed science to show what oil & gas companies are actually doing — not just what they say. ➡️ BigGasPolluters.org

Protect clean water for our kids: bit.ly/protect-our-... The places our kids love depend on clean water. Weakening protections now could pollute them forever. Once water is damaged, it's hard to fix. Let's protect it while we still can.

If the numbers didn’t stun you, here are more reasons EQT earned December’s #PolluterOfTheMonth: -Air-pollution events documented by Earthworks, even after their "net zero" pledge -A proud member of the trade group that helped kill the US methane waste fee Full breakdown: https://bit.ly/3Kn9bL8

Oil & gas silence is deafening...as if promises to fight #climate are just deceptive marketing tricks. ➡️ Trump attacks US Climate action ❌ Industry says nada ➡️ Trump bullies EU to weaken rules to #cutmethane ❌ Industry says nada Our statement -> bit.ly/4sfr3sC

Oil companies say their projects create new jobs and enhance local economies. When it comes to the proposed Blue Marlin Offshore Port, a new report from Port Arthur Community Action Network and Earthworks reveals this isn't true. Read more: www.savesabinelake.com

Our #PolluterOfTheMonth, EQT Corporation, says it’s “Net Zero.” But that claim only covers a fraction of its pollution — not the gas it sells, not the leaks from its pipelines. And what about the methane that satellites keep catching above its sites? Learn more: https://bit.ly/3Kn9bL8

🚨 Must READ: Toxics & radiation flow into waterways from landfills & treatment plants. The likely cause? Solid oil & gas waste from PA & OH. Salt, heavy metals, cancer-causing toxics & radiation. Worse? EPA does NOT label it as 'hazardous waste.' bit.ly/OHWaste

🚨 December’s #PolluterOfTheMonth: EQT Corporation. EQT calls itself a climate leader — but satellites keep spotting methane billowing near its wells in PA & WV. See our receipts: https://bit.ly/3Kn9bL8 Featuring art by the incredible Wotto, aka Craig Watkins.

ICYMI: The GOP is trying to pass Permitting Reform legislation that would gut protections for Tribes and communities to oppose strip mining and oil and gas drilling. These lands have been protected by Tribal treaty rights since the 19th Century. How is this America First?

The Senate voted yesterday to reverse EPA’s delay on #cutmethane rules. People everywhere support cutting pollution. Yet the vote failed, 46-51 with all Rs opposing. Ty to the Senators putting people before pollution. Shame to all who give handouts to oil & gas pollution billionaires.

The numbers tell the story — and it’s not the one our #PolluterOfTheMonth, TotalEnergies, wants you to hear. From repeated methane emissions to pollution near homes and schools, the company’s claims for deploying real-time methane detection crumble under real data. More ➡️ https://bit.ly/4ofiCuI

In a dramatic win for transparency, science, and democracy, the New Mexico Water Quality Control Commission voted 7–4 yesterday to vacate a vote that had advanced an oil-and-gas-funded petition to allow discharge of “treated” fracking waste into NM’s lands and waterways. https://loom.ly/useCfUs

TotalEnergies, our latest #PolluterOfTheMonth, was penalized & ordered by a French court to remove its misleading greenwashing claims. This is the first-ever ruling of its kind against a major oil & gas firm. Read the full story on the fossil fuel greenwashing: https://reut.rs/4oBCAjw

"More leaders in America are making a difference than leaders who aren't and that's how we move America forward." says NM Gov Michelle Lujan Grisham at COP30 in Belém, Brazil. We commend the Governor's leadership, & look forward to continuing the work by passing the Clear Horizons Bill.

TotalEnergies loves to talk about its climate “leadership” — especially at global climate summits. But while they promise progress on the world stage, communities in TX are still living with the same old leaks, venting, and toxic air. Our Nov #PolluterOfTheMonth: https://bit.ly/4ofiCuI

Ending the Greenhouse Gas Reporting Program gives polluters a free pass to stop collecting data on methane emissions. The comment period is ending, but EPA must listen to the public who deserve to know how these emissions affect our health. Let's #CutMethane & hold polluters accountable.

Announcing November #PolluterOfTheMonth: TotalEnergies At the UN climate summit, they boast about "continuous methane monitoring." Meanwhile, Earthworks investigations found repeated pollution events at Total’s fracking sites. See the full picture at: https://bit.ly/4ofiCuI Artwork: Davey Leavitt

NEW: The Guatemalan Xinka People are defending their territory, water and health by demanding the closure of the toxic Escobal mine — but its Canada-based owner is ignoring them. Show solidarity and send a message to Pan American Silver CEO Michael Steinmann now: act.earthworks.org/page/87881/p...

Our #PolluterOfTheMonth, by the numbers: ❌ 4+ methane super-emitter plumes since July ❌ Just 1 hour of combined emissions = a year of driving 180 cars ❌ $8.8 million in penalties since 2023 ❌ Enough wasted gas to power 5,800 homes Oxy keeps talking “net zero,” but the math doesn’t lie.

Tell the NM Oil Conservation Commission: Oil and Gas Operators Must Clean Up Their Toxic Pollution! Join New Mexico Moms in calling for an update to our state laws to incentivize oil and gas operators to close and clean up aging wells. actnow.momscleanairforce.org/a/nm-oil-and...

PR spin vs. reality. Oxy claims to be “leading the way to clean energy.” In reality? Methane pollution so big it’s visible from space, fines piling up, and gas wasted that could have powered thousands of homes. This isn’t leadership. This is why Oxy is our October #PolluterOfTheMonth.

🚨Our October #PolluterOfTheMonth: Occidental Petroleum (Oxy) In July alone, satellites caught multiple methane plumes blasting into the sky from Oxy wells in TX & 5 pollution events from their wells in CO since the start of 2025. See the full receipts at BigGasPolluters.org Artwork: Amy Ross

September's #PolluterOfTheMonth operates >1,000 wells on Navajo, Ute, or Apache land, many in a region known as the "Checkerboard," where regulatory jurisdiction can change quickly. This allows operators like Enduring Resources to dodge/evade enforcements. 🔗 bit.ly/Sept-POM-End...
