U.S. Manufacturers’ Lobby Defends Fossils Against Climate Litigation – The Energy Mix
“The group has filed briefs defending
oil companies in liability lawsuits, launched campaigns to discredit
the communities filing them, and has worked to stop shareholders from
pressing the oil companies to disclose climate risks,” Climate Liability
News reports. “In these roles, NAM has put itself front and centre in
the effort to keep fossil fuel companies from being held liable for
their role in climate change, and from paying for the related damages
that will run in the hundreds of billions of dollars to communities
across the country.”
