DOJ: Investigate Exxon's Fraud on the Planet!

To US Attorney General Loretta Lynch:

Recent reports reveal that Exxon likely knew decades ago about the disastrous effects of climate change, yet contributed millions to mislead the public. We call on you to launch an immediate investigation of Exxon and fellow fossil-fuel companies for deliberate deception about the most pressing planetary issue of our time.

DOJ: Investigate Exxon's Fraud on the Planet!
The fraud of the century is unraveling before our eyes.

Reporting just revealed that before most of us even knew what "global warming" meant, scientists at Exxon Mobile,the largest oil and gas company in the world, warned their bosses that the impacts of industrial scale burning of fossil fuels was "potentially catastrophic," and could even "endanger humanity."

It gets worse. While Exxon used that science to forecast drilling opportunities in a soon to be melting Arctic, the oil giant was pumping millions into a disinformation campaign to discredit climate science, boosting a "debate" in the media where none existed in the science. The tactic helped block government action for decades, to protect industry profits while the world warmed.

Following on bombshell reporting in the Los Angeles Times and Inside Climate News, members of Congress, journalists, and even presidential candidates are calling on the Department of Justice to investigate. But Exxon is one of the biggest, baddest companies in the world, and Attorney General Loretta Lynch will need to feel support from all quarters of the country before the DOJ goes forward. Let's show her we have her back.

Sign on and we'll deliver our demand directly to the Attorney General, to get at the truth about what #ExxonKnew, and when they knew it!
