For those asking for more specifics - see the report cited in the second link (https://www.iisd.org/publications/report/investor-state-disputes-fossil-fuel-industry https://www.iisd.org/publications/report/investor-state-disp...), Table 17 (near the end). It has a list of seven cases filed relating to climate policy. None involve any companies whose names I recognize, but for all I know they are big in their host countries.
I suspect we would start hearing about it if Exxon/Shell/BP/Chevron were doing it.
- artificialLimbs 4y agoMaybe they're pushing/funding these little guys to test the climate on this kind of court action. (Ha!) Good for them, if so. I like cheap electricity in my house and going places in my vehicle for $perGallon != $fkme
- civilized 4y agoYeah! Fuck the Earth!! Me Me Me!!!
- artificialLimbs 4y agoDid you stop using vehicles and electricity, or are you just posturing?
- civilized 4y agoYou are gratuitously cheerleading for oil companies meddling in state efforts to slow down climate change. Could you remind me why it's inconsistent for me to criticize that while still using vehicles and electricity?
