Bernie has the right idea – lobby to have the DOJ go after the oil companies

An article appeared today (8/6/2023) on MSNBC’s website entitled “The world is burning. Here’s how we stop it.“: ttps://www.msnbc.com/opinion/msnbc-opinion/bernie-sanders-climate-change-justice-department-lawsuit-rcna97622 . This is an excerpt from that article:

“..Earlier this week, I sent a letter to Attorney General Merrick Garland urging him to bring lawsuits against the fossil fuel industry in relation to its longstanding and carefully coordinated campaign to mislead consumers and discredit climate science in pursuit of massive profits. The letter was co-signed by Sens. Jeff Merkley, Elizabeth Warren and Ed Markey.

Like the tobacco industry before them, the fossil fuel companies’ actions represent a clear violation of federal racketeering laws, truth in advertising laws, consumer protection laws, and potentially other laws. The Justice Department must hold them accountable.”

Thank you, Bernie, and may the Gods bless you!!!
