Climate accountability deserves its day in court

In recent years, communities have faced a staggering $1.5 trillion in damages from extreme weather linked to climate change, yet fossil fuel industry lawyers have fiercely resisted state court cases addressing climate accountability. However, the tide is turning as legal battles gain momentum, potentially holding these industries accountable for their role in climate disasters. This shift is crucial, as it could set a precedent for future climate litigation, pushing for greater transparency and responsibility from corporations that have long denied or downplayed climate science.
