Suing the oil companies is not going to make a difference, anyway. What matters is the broad public opinion, and the good news is that we seem to have passed one tipping point, in that the consensus now is that climate change is both real and problematical, and deniers are increasingly being seen as cranks.

It will increase the potential costs they consider the next time a major industry has to choose between ending human civilization and their quarterly profits. It will punish shareholders who supported this behaviour. It's not the only answer but I don't see any way that it hurts.
