New York City climate lawsuit against oil companies collapses
Original: NYC climate change suit against Big Oil runs out of gas
New York City's lawsuit against major oil companies over climate change damages has failed, with the case described as running out of gas. The city had sought to hold Big Oil financially responsible for costs tied to rising seas and extreme weather. The outcome is a setback for municipal climate litigation efforts nationwide.
Why now: The dismissal or collapse of a high-profile city climate lawsuit is a significant development in ongoing litigation against the oil industry.
