Recent reports and congressional testimonies have revealed that major oil companies have internally acknowledged the incompatibility of their business plans with public commitments to reduce emissions, despite outwardly supporting environmental policies. Documents released by congressional Democrats, led by Ranking Member @RepRaskin and SenateBudget Chairman @SenWhitehouse, show that these companies have been aware of their contributions to the climate crisis but continued to spread disinformation to downplay the severity of the issue. The Senate Budget Committee and the House Oversight Committee have highlighted these discrepancies, accusing the industry of engaging in a long-standing campaign of deception to undermine climate action. Additionally, Imperial Oil shareholders recently rejected a proposal to disclose the effects of energy transition, reflecting ongoing resistance within the industry.
