Fighting Fossil Fuel Advertising
Fossil fuel companies have adopted Big Tobacco’s advertising playbook and are repositioning themselves as diversified, climate concerned entities. Individuals and government organizations at all levels should be aware of how they are attempting to sway public opinion, and what legal pathways have the best chance of blocking their attempts to retain Big Oil’s status quo.
Climate Equity Policy Center has created a history and legal analysis of the fossil fuel industry’s attempts to promote the use of fuels most responsible for climate change. These resources outline what fossil fuel companies have done in the past, and what legal pathways might best succeed in blocking their deceptive messaging.
