Trump’s executive order to shield polluters from accountability runs counter to public opinion, as bipartisan majorities say that fossil fuel companies should help pay for climate damages and voters widely oppose legal immunity for the industry. Around seven in ten voters (69%), including nearly nine in ten Democrats (87%), two-thirds of independents (68%), and half of Republicans (52%), agree with the following statement: “Oil and gas companies knew about climate change impacts but misled the public. These companies should pay for climate-related damages.” Accordingly, the overwhelming majority of voters (71% support / 23% oppose) say that they support “requiring oil and gas companies to pay a share of costs for climate-related damages”–including majorities of Democrats (86%), independents (74%), and Republicans (55%).
