TELL YOUR LEGISLATORS TO SHUT THE FOSSILS UP!
The fossil fuel industry is waging an all-out campaign to stop climate action in New York. We need to shut them up and shut them down.
Thanks to years of grassroots organizing, New York leads the nation in climate action, threatening the fossil fuel industry’s obscene profits. That’s why the industry is spending millions of dollars lobbying state policymakers, and has mounted a massive disinformation campaign designed to scare New Yorkers into flooding their legislators with emails and calls.
The only answer to organized money is organized people.

THE FOSSIL FUEL INDUSTRY PLAYBOOK FOR STALLING NY CLIMATE ACTION:
Gaslight, Greenwash, and Price Gouge
GASLIGHT
Solar panels, heat pumps, electric cars: clean, equitable energy is here, and set to get relentlessly cheaper. The fossil fuel industry knows they can’t win in a fair fight. So they’ve been hiding behind front groups and spreading propaganda in a covert campaign to spread fear, uncertainty and doubt about climate solutions.
Over the past two years, they have flooded the state with fear-mongering mailers, TV spots, social media ads, robo-calls and aggressive lobbying of our state legislators.
GREENWASH
To stop heating the climate, we need to stop burning oil and gas. So what do you do if your product is fundamentally incompatible with a liveable planet? Spread bullshit, of course!
Knowing it’s too late to outright deny climate change when it’s all around us, the industry assures us they can keep the gas flowing by capturing methane from cow shit and piping completely poisonous hydrogen into our homes.
