Who Profits and Who Pays: The Fight for Climate Accountability

From Big Tobacco to the gun industry, we know what happens when powerful industries avoid responsibility: Communities pay the price with their health and their lives. Now, a similar effort is underway. The fossil fuel industry is currently working to secure immunity from laws and lawsuits that could hold them liable for fueling the climate crisis, and running a campaign of denial, disinformation, and deception. In this episode, Iyla Shornstein, political Director at the Center for Climate Integrity, shares what a push for immunity could mean, where we've seen this playbook before, and how health professionals can respond.  Center for Climate Integrity: https://climateintegrity.org/   Join or support our movement here: https://medsocietiesforclimatehealth.org/   Healthy Climate America is produced by Savannah Martincic.
