USA: City of Honolulu sues 10 fossil fuel companies over climate impacts

"‘Fossil Fuel Companies Knew’: Honolulu Files Lawsuit Over Climate Impacts", 9 Mar 2020

...On Monday the City of Honolulu filed a lawsuit against 10 oil and gas companies, seeking monetary damages to help pay for costs associated with climate impacts like sea level rise and flooding....

The lawsuit... is based on claims of nuisance, failure to warn, and trespass and alleges that the climate impacts facing the city stem from the oil companies’ decades-long campaign to mislead policymakers and the public on the dangers of fossil fuels.

For decades and decades the fossil fuel companies knew that the products they were selling would have tremendous damaging economic impacts for local governments, cities, and counties that our taxpayers are going to be forced to bear.”...  “Instead of disclosing that information, they covered up the information, ...”

Over a dozen cities, counties, and states across the country have filed climate liability lawsuits against fossil fuel producers...

Honolulu now joins these communities that are turning to the courts to hold Big Oil accountable... 

Honolulu is already experiencing climate impacts including extreme heat and precipitation, severe storms and flooding, and coastal erosion... The costs are in the billions, and those billions should come from the profits, the billions and billions of dollars in profits that have been gained from the oil corporations.”... 

The companies named ...include BPBHP Group, Aloha Petroleum, Chevron, ConocoPhillips, Phillips 66, ExxonMobil, Marathon Petroleum, Royal Dutch Shell and Sunoco.
