Climate Change is a Crime Scene: Fenton Forecast for Cases Against Big Oil
Episode 24
Published 12 hours ago
Description
The Supreme Court just heard the case that decides whether communities can sue Big Oil for the cost of extreme weather. Justice Alito recused himself, so a 4–4 tie leaves Boulder County’s lawsuit alive. David Fenton comments on the warnings that these suits could bankrupt the oil companies, why the tobacco cases are the right comparison, and why nobody gave those a chance either until a jury saw what the companies knew.
