Statement of Resource Person, Dylan Tanner 6 November 2018 the Carbon Majors and their lobby groups towards climate policy showing past and continued strategic opposition, often while creating a deceptive narrative of top-line support of policy progress on climate change. 2. This systematic opposition has continued through 2018; even following the IPCC report of October 201858, which stresses the urgent need for action to prevent climate change causing future catastrophic losses and damage to global societal, economic and natural systems. It is highly likely that past and current inconsistent behavior by Carbon Majors with regards to their official stances and internal activities on climate policy indicates deliberate strategies of deception, suggesting their potential liability for the damages caused by this deception.
