Comparison

• The state of California has filed a lawsuit against major oil companies, including Exxon Mobil, Shell, Chevron, BP, and ConocoPhillips, accusing them of downplaying the risks of fossil fuels and deceiving the public, which has caused billions of dollars in damages. The American Petroleum Institute is also named as a defendant in the case.
• California is seeking the creation of an abatement fund to pay for future damages caused by climate-related disasters in the state, but the defendants argue that climate policy should be determined by Congress, not the court system.
• This lawsuit is part of a wave of environmental litigation against fossil fuel companies, similar to successful cases against the tobacco and pharmaceutical industries. The industry has been trying to avoid state trials on procedural grounds.
