Climate Lawsuits Against Big Oil Collapse

Douglas McIntyre, Editor-in-Chief at Climate Crisis 24/7, reports that despite growing pressure from climate coalitions and a new study by the Center for Climate Integrity, efforts to hold Big Oil financially accountable for environmental damage are failing. While weather disasters are driving up costs for consumers through insurance premiums, attempts by states and cities to sue oil companies have made little legal progress. McIntyre concludes that, for now, the public—not polluters—is bearing the cost of climate change.
