It’s hard to believe U.S. politicians are still giving taxpayer’s money to ‘Big Oil’ & other fossil-fuel corps.

We should be discouraging, taxing and rapidly decelerating their use, not giving them taxpayer’s hard earned money.

U.S. Citizens should also Sue Their Government Over Failure To Act On Climate Change

I wouldn’t be surprised if Republicans had already made that illegal.

In Landmark Case, Dutch Citizens Sue Their Government Over Failure To Act On Climate Change | ThinkProgress

“Public arguments are scheduled to begin Tuesday in the Netherlands, where nearly 900 Dutch citizens have filed a lawsuit against their government for failing to effectively cut greenhouse gas emissions and curb climate change.

Hailed by Dutch press as a “landmark legal case,” it’s the first European example of a group of citizens attempting to hold a government responsible for inefficient climate policies, and the first time that existing human rights laws have been the basis of a case.”
