One reason is that big oil, gas and coal companies block the urgent action that's required by denying basic climate science and receiving substantial tax benefits.
Wealthy donors from fossil fuel corporations frequently donate to nonprofits that sow doubt about climate change, effectively being subsidized by taxpayers when they deduct these contributions.
Through U.S. charitable giving tax laws, donors like the Kochs reduce their taxes with every qualifying donation, costing taxpayers up to 74 cents for every dollar given.
As we approach the 2024 presidential election, millions in donations have fueled policy developments like the Project 2025 Blueprint for the Trump administration, influencing climate action.
