Congressional lobbyists working for fossil fuel firms that are exacerbating the climate crisis are simultaneously representing more than 300 local governments raising funding to recover from climate damage, according to a new analysis.(为加剧气候危机的化石燃料公司工作的国会说客，同时代理着300多个地方政府，这些地方政府正在筹集资金以从气候损害中恢复。)
根据一项新的分析，为加剧气候危机的化石燃料公司工作的国会说客，同时代理着300多个地方政府，这些地方政府正在筹集资金以从气候损害中恢复。
The research by F Minus and Make Polluters Pay reviewed congressional lobbying disclosures(披露，公开的文件) for the first quarter of 2026, finding that another 568 local governments hired fossil fuel lobbyists to work on non-climate related issues during that time, some of which included climate adjacent(与气候相关的，气候边缘的) issues, like healthcare and home insurance.
F Minus 和 Make Polluters Pay 的研究审查了2026年第一季度的国会游说披露文件，发现另有568个地方政府在此期间雇佣了化石燃料说客处理与气候无关的事务，其中一些事务涉及与气候相关的问题，如医疗保健和房屋保险。
Dozens of lobbying firms were identified by researchers as working on both sides of climate action. James Browning, the founder and executive director of F Minus, said local governments who hire these firms to lobby for climate mitigation, disaster relief, and wildlife conservation likely don’t know that the same firms are working for clients like ExxonMobil and the American Petroleum Institute (API), which critics say are pushing to further dependence on fossil fuels.(詹姆斯·布朗宁表示，聘请这些公司游说气候缓解等事务的地方政府很可能不知道这些公司同时为化石燃料客户工作。) “They are locked into(被锁定在，陷入) these relationships with big firms and may also not know they are the ones blocking climate efforts,” Browning said.
研究人员发现，数十家游说公司同时为气候行动的两方工作。F Minus 的创始人兼执行董事詹姆斯·布朗宁表示，聘请这些公司游说气候缓解、灾难救援和野生动物保护的地方政府，很可能不知道这些公司同时也在为埃克森美孚和美国石油学会（API）等客户工作，批评者称这些客户正在推动进一步依赖化石燃料。布朗宁说：“他们被锁定在这些与大公司的关系中，也可能不知道正是这些公司在阻挠气候行动。”
