“Billionaires caused the climate chaos, spearheaded the rise of authoritarianism and they continue to profit from our suffering,” @climatedefenders.bsky.social organizer said. “But they forgot one thing: there are more of us than there are of them.”

Carbon emissions from oil giants directly linked to dozens of deadly heatwaves for first time Time to #MakePollutersPay! #ClimateLitigation #ClimateCrisis

“We can finally put a name and a number on who’s responsible for these disasters. The bill is coming due, and it’s time these polluters pay for the damage they’ve done."

"We're talking about real people who died, real crops that failed, and real communities that suffered, all because of decisions made in corporate boardrooms," one campaigner said after a new study tied fossil fuel giants' pollution to deadly heatwaves. www.commondreams.org/news/heatwav...

“We can now point to specific heatwaves and say, ‘Saudi Aramco did this. ExxonMobil did this.’ When their emissions alone are triggering heatwaves...we’re talking about real people who died, real crops that failed, and real communities that suffered.”

We're relaunching the National Make Polluters Pay campaign — and we need you with us. 🔥

Will Republicans give more handouts to Big Oil, or compromise with Democrats to prevent a government shutdown? Here’s the scoop on what’s coming up in DC energy and environmental policy: @polluterspay.bsky.social 🧵

🟢 Agencies like Unearth have the opportunity to do the right thing by saying no to big polluters and supporting @polluterspay.bsky.social, instead. 🔗 Read the full story by @globalwitness.org: globalwitness.org/en/press-rel...

We can’t let Big Oil escape accountability. Not now. Not ever.

ICYMI: Fossil fuel companies have spent millions of dollars to spread false and misleading information on social media.

A hot summer day didn't deter 200+ climate activists from taking climate action in Hoboken, New Jersey on Thursday, including a strong Jewish young contingent! ✊🔥 We're mobilizing to say Pass the Make Polluters Pay Act! @thirdactorg.bsky.social #makepolluterspay

Trump asked oil execs for $1 billion. He got $445 million. His billion dollar tax breaks gives the oil industry everything it wants. #MakePollutersPay

This is not radical: If you break, you pay for it. Taxpayers should not be on the hook for the price of climate change; instead, #makepolluterspay www.njspotlightnews.org/2025/07/op-e...

🗣️ Last week, UN Secretary-General António Guterres delivered a special address that made one thing very clear - clean energy is transforming the world and is unstoppable. 👇 All we need now, is an unstoppable movement to keep powering us into a solar-powered future. 🧵 Here's what he had to say:

We should call it the Big Oil heat dome.

Texas flood protest goes to Washington: ‘No more kids lost to climate disasters’ Twenty-seven trunks symbolise child flood victims: ‘They died as a result of choices – terrible and deadly choices’ www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Texas flood protest goes to Washington: ‘No more kids lost to climate disasters’ Protesters attribute fatalities in Texas not to a natural disaster but a “preventable and politically charged crisis” stemming from government defunding of critical agencies.

"I won’t get flood warnings in time to save my family because our government defunded our National Weather Service and NOAA. This is insanity. This is so dangerous. This is not leadership. It’s a combination of cowardice and corruption.”

27 children at summer camp died in catastrophic flooding in Texas. This is every parent's nightmare. We won't stand by while our leaders support the fossil fuel industry responsible for climate disasters. RSVP: actionnetwork.org/events/texas...

According to former federal prosecutor Cindy Cho, when people die in climate-related disasters like extreme heat death, #BigOil could be held liable. This is BIG news for the fight to #MakePollutersPay.

Extreme heat is killing Americans. Big Oil knew it would. They should pay for the damage.

This makes me furious. From fossilfreememo.substack.com/p/the-foreca... Thanks to @polluterspay.bsky.social for bringing this to light.

"This was a preventable tragedy. Not because we can control the rain, but because we could have had stronger systems in place...politicians like Ted Cruz & Donald Trump chose to defund those systems. They chose to take money out of public protection and shovel it into the pockets of oil executives."

Instead of tax cuts for billionaires, everyday Texans and working people across the country should have systems in place to help them weather these extreme disasters safely.

🚨BREAKING: 8 out of 10 surveyed around the world think that polluters - not the people - should pay for climate damages. That’s an OVERWHELMING majority saying - it’s time to make polluters pay. Sign the Polluters Pay Pact today 👇 act-int.greenpeace.org/polluters-pa...

Let's go, California 👏

“The largest emitters of carbon pollution, companies like Exxon, BP, Shell, and Chevron are raking in record breaking profits, while the average NJ resident is forced to pay for these increasing climate costs which they simply cannot afford.” - Matt Smith, our NJ State Director #MakePollutersPay

They’re calling it the "Big Beautiful Bill." We’re calling it what it really is: the Big Ugly Bill, because it’s one of the most dangerous, climate-wrecking proposals ever to come out of Congress. Stand up for climate & join our movement call on Monday 💻

We are coming together on Monday, June 9th with climate leaders like Jay Inslee, @leahstokes.bsky.social , @billmckibben.bsky.social, and others to get fired up to stop the worst environmental bill in US history.🚨 #EnergySky cc: @polluterspay.bsky.social Join us ⤵️ actionnetwork.org/events/stand...

The Make Polluters Pay campaign is exposing Trump’s oily inner circle, and calling out the billionaires who want to profit while the planet burns. Learn who they are:

Our campaign is gaining steam too 💅 #MakePollutersPay

Big Oil KNEW they lied. Their greed is driving the climate crisis, yet taxpayers are the ones paying for the damages caused by extreme weather. Enough is ENOUGH. We all deserve to live and raise our families in safe & healthy communities. #MPPpartner @polluterspay.bsky.social

ICYMI: Trump’s action is a political stunt, not a legal reversal. Climate Superfund laws stand on strong constitutional ground.

⚖️ "Climate researchers say they have come up with a method to link individual fossil fuel producers with specific climate harms in a way that would allow courts to quantify the economic loss.[...] the paper is significant for showing that accountability is possible." Time to #makepolluterspay

It doesn't matter how much Big Oil spends to fight California's Climate Superfund Act. We are done letting the industry dodge responsibility. #MakePollutersPay

People of faith & conscience gathered for an #interfaith rally on Sunday to hear stories from clergy & community members impacted by the #EatonWildfire 🏚️💔 #Faiths4Climate #MakePollutersPay #ClimateAction

Thank you to the office of @asmtasha.bsky.social for meeting with us and @cavsbigoil.bsky.social during #CEJASpringLobbyDay and standing with frontline communities! We hope you’ll support #SB684 & #AB1243 and show the climate leadership CA needs. Let’s #MakePollutersPay and protect our future 💚

Californians are showing up for the #MakePollutersPay Climate Superfund Act 🔥

“This is political theater, plain and simple. Trump is using the Department of Justice to protect his biggest donors, and the public is being forced to bankroll it"

If a healthy tree from my yard falls on my neighbor's house though no fault of mine, I'm not responsible. If I knew the tree was unhealthy before it fell, or if I cut it and it landed on my neighbor's home, I'm at fault. #MakePollutersPay @docsforclimate.bsky.social @jonathanpatz.bsky.social

While #billionaire oil companies profit from the #ClimateCrisis, workers in South Asia are struggling to make ends meet. So as the climate crisis worsens, demanding for labor rights becomes a call for dignity and survival. #MakePollutersPay www.aljazeera.com/opinions/202...

This is political theater, plain and simple.

We’re fighting for a just transition this #MayDay — one that lifts wages, protects workers’ rights, and creates a real path forward for fossil fuel workers.

POLL: Voters strongly oppose efforts to give oil and gas companies a legal shield against lawsuits that would make them pay for climate damages.

111 fossil fuel companies caused the world $28 trillion in damage from extreme heat from 1991 to 2020. #MakePollutersPay

Big Oil is facing the music. It's time for them to pay up for the damage they have done. We partnered with Sanjana Sekhar, Anusha Savi, and storytelling studio GARMI to amplify their song "HEATED (GARMI)," a pop and R&B breakup anthem to take back our power from the Oil-igarchy.
