New York’s Lawsuit Against Energy Companies Dismissed: What’s Next?

Douglas McIntyre, Editor-in-Chief at Climate Crisis, reports on New York State’s failed lawsuit against energy giants like BP and Shell for pollution. The lawsuit, which claimed the companies’ actions caused environmental and health damages, was dismissed by a judge due to insufficient evidence and a lack of direct links to the pollution. Similar lawsuits are ongoing in other states, and the key question is whether they will succeed or face similar dismissals upon appeal.
