Climate litigation - Environmental groups sound new alarm as fossil fuel lobby pushes for immunity https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/mar/13/fossil-fuel-lobby-immunity-lawsuits
Nearly 200 groups urge Congress to reject fossil fuel industry immunity efforts, fearing long-term damage to climate lawsuits

Fossil fuel companies have vied for such a get-out-of-jail-free card for years.
