The American Prospect
•71% Informative
The Clean Air Act (CAA) has been fiercely opposed by polluters and their allies since its passage in 1970 .
The ringleaders of this effort are the usual trade groups driving climate apocalypse, including the American Fuel and Petrochemical Manufacturers ( AFPM ) and the American Petroleum Institute .
Many of the companies driving these suits are some of the biggest names in corporate greenwashing.
Amazon is the largest emitter of the “Big Five ” tech companies, producing no less than 16.2 million metric tons of CO2 every year .
FedEx has funneled intensive time and resources into lobbying directly against climate action while pushing its net-zero greenwashing narrative.
In 2020 alone, Amazon , FedEx , and UPS together “emitted as much carbon dioxide as burning 4.5 billion pounds of coal”.
