SCSA: Stop Climate Shakedowns Act

We have received the following information from 350 Seattle: “On April 17th, 2026, Republicans in Congress introduced sweeping legislation in the House and Senate to do just that – give Big Oil immunity and effectively put the industry above the law. Called the “Stop Climate Shakedowns Act of 2026”, if passed, this bill would put all existing accountability lawsuits under water, do away with Climate “Superfund” laws, and block any
similar future efforts. It’s designed after the shameful 2005 law that gave gun manufacturers broad protections from lawsuits over gun violence.” The act was sponsored by Congresswoman Hageman of Wyoming, who defeated Liz Cheney in a Republican primary in 2022. Congresswoman Hagemen’s description of the bill and more information about it can be found here.
