California’s Plan To Sue Oil Companies for Climate Damage

Douglas McIntyre, Editor-in-Chief at Climate Crisis 24/7, reports that California’s legislative attempts to hold fossil fuel companies financially accountable for climate-related damages have once again failed. Despite years of political promises and legal action from cities and states, strong lobbying from the oil industry continues to stall progress. McIntyre notes that while lawsuits accuse companies of knowingly causing environmental harm, none have yet prevailed in court — leaving the future of accountability uncertain.
