Internal documents show that fossil fuel companies intentionally made climate action promises that their executives knew would do more to protect their business model than secure a meaningful reduction in pollution.
For Democrats, the report and release of internal company communications was one last chance to hold Big Oil accountable before the Republican majority takes over next month. Not a single Republican signed onto the report, which GOP lawmakers dismissed as partisan theatrics. Democrats called it “explosive.”
“For the oil and gas industry, delay and distraction are the new denial,” said Anusha Narayanan, climate campaign director at Greenpeace USA, in a statement Monday. “The House Oversight Committee report shows that Exxon, Chevron, Shell, and BP continue their decades-long campaign of roadblocking true, science-based climate solutions that address the damage they are doing to our health and the destruction of the planet.
According to Democrats, this amounts to doing the right thing for the wrong reason, and that’s misleading to the public. API included methane regulations in a “climate action framework” now published on the group’s website, part of a broader push by the industry to keep a seat at the climate policy table.
