'Like the tobacco industry before them, the fossil fuel companies' actions represent a clear violation of federal racketeering laws, truth in advertising laws, consumer protection laws, and potentially other laws,' wrote SenSanders.
In his op-ed on Thursday, Sanders wrote that"the Justice Department must join the fight and work with partners at the Federal Trade Commission and other law enforcement agencies to file suits against all those who participated in the fossil fuel industry's conspiracy of lies and deception."
"The fossil fuel industry must begin to pay for the extraordinary damage it has caused and continues to cause every day," Sanders added."Climate change is an existential threat to every person on Earth. At every level, in every country, we must work together to save the planet for our kids and future generations. And those most responsible for this global crisis must finally be held accountable.
"Across the entire planet, the average person was exposed to 11 days in which carbon pollution made the local temperature at least three times more likely," said Andrew Pershing, Climate Central's vice president for science."Virtually no place on Earth escaped the influence of climate change last month."
