Charles and David Koch have, through Americans for Prosperity, a conservative
group they back, succeeded in persuading many members of Congress to sign a
little-known pledge in which they have promised to vote against legislation
relating to climate change.

Four hundred and eleven current office holders nationwide have signed Koch
bros pledge, the entire Republican leadership in the House of
Representatives, a third of the members of the House of Representatives as a
whole, and a quarter of U.S. senators.

The pledge essentially commits those who sign to it to vote against nearly
any meaningful bill regarding global warning, and acts as yet another
roadblock to action.

In 2011, according to the E.P.A.’s greenhouse-gas-reporting database, the
Koch bros, which have oil refineries in three states, emitted over ..
TWENTY-FOUR MILLION TONS .. of carbon dioxide, as much as is typically
emitted by five million cars.
