Fossil Fuels

Fossil fuel companies have our future in a chokehold. They’ve captured our politicians’ ears, infiltrated climate summits and fuelled and funded war. All this while preserving their industry’s eyewatering profits, even as our planet becomes a perilous place to live.

More people than ever are suffering from the effects of climate breakdown, with deadly wildfires, heatwaves, storms and floods making large parts of the world uninhabitable. Yet rather than scale back their planet-wrecking operations, fossil fuel companies keep cutting new deals and peddling false solutions. We cannot allow their greed to seal our fate. We’re exposing how far fossil fuel companies will go to protect their shareholders’ wealth – even if they end up dragging us all into climate chaos.
