Puerto Rico DOJ Files Climate Deception Lawsuit Against Big Oil
“The human, natural, and economic devastation provoked by hurricanes Irma and María in 2017 are an advance of the grave consequences related to the climate that Puerto Rico faces as a direct result of the illicit deception by the Defendants,” alleges the complaint.
Puerto Rico filed a lawsuit against major oil and gas companies — including ExxonMobil, Chevron, and BP — on Monday that seeks to hold them accountable for deceiving the public about the climate damages caused by their products and make them pay for damages caused by climate disasters, such as hurricanes Irma and María.
