Can Big Oil Face Manslaughter Charges?

Doug McIntyre and David Callaway discuss the potential for lawsuits against big oil companies, following the Sierra Club’s suggestion that these companies could be charged with manslaughter for their role in climate change. They explore the likelihood of such cases reaching federal courts and eventually the Supreme Court, noting that previous lawsuits, like those against tobacco companies, focused on civil suits rather than criminal charges. David suggests that the Sierra Club might be using this rhetoric to increase donations.
