New Jersey urged to lead fight against fossil fuels and climate crisis
New Jersey is facing a critical moment in the fight against the fossil fuel industry and the worsening climate crisis. Recent attacks on climate agencies and the dismissal of a lawsuit against Big Oil for spreading disinformation highlight the urgent need for action. The state has the opportunity to lead by passing the Climate Superfund Act and the Fossil Fuel Divestment Act to protect its communities and future.
The cuts to vital agencies like the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration threaten the state’s preparedness for climate impacts, while the fossil fuel industry’s disinformation campaign has delayed the transition to renewable energy. Passing these bills would signal New Jersey’s commitment to holding Big Oil accountable and protecting the environment for future generations.
Investing in renewable energy and divesting from fossil fuels is not just a moral imperative, but an economic one as well. By passing these acts, New Jersey can position itself as a leader in the global movement towards clean energy and build a secure future for all residents. It is time for the state to take decisive action and show that it is serious about combating the climate crisis.
