I had asked:<br \/>\nWhat will create the change needed?<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/membrane.com\/global_warming\/Climate-Change-and-Cigarette-Litigation.html\">Litigation against oil companies and governments<\/a>: The oil industry is going to be like the tobacco industry. The consumers claim they were misled about the dangers of burning fossil fuels and file lawsuits against the oil companies. As litigation drags on, you will not be able to buy oil or get insurance at a reasonable price (similar to what happened to cigarette smokers.) At the same time, children are litigating with their governments for their basic human rights. In Montana, children won the case of Held v. Montana over the &#8220;right to a clean and healthful environment.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/membrane.com\/global_warming\/notes\/CA-v-Oil.pdf\">California v. Exxon, Shell, Chevron, ConocoPhillips, and BP<\/a><\/strong><br \/>\nIn September of 2023, the State of California filed the lawsuit for:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>DECADES OF DECEPTION\n<ul>\n<li>Oil and gas executives have known for decades about the dangers of the fossil fuels they produce.<\/li>\n<li>Industry-funded reports directly linked fossil fuel consumption to rising global temperatures and damage to our air, land, and water.<\/li>\n<li>Oil companies intentionally suppressed that information from the public and policymakers to protect their profits, and spent billions of dollars to spread disinformation on climate change and delay our transition away from fossil fuels.<\/li>\n<li>Oil companies used this information for their own profits, developing new technology to explore the Arctic for oil production because they knew Arctic sea ice was melting.<\/li>\n<li>The deception continues today: Oil companies promote fossil fuel products as \u00e2\u20ac\u0153clean\u00e2\u20ac\u009d or \u00e2\u20ac\u0153green\u00e2\u20ac\u009d or \u00e2\u20ac\u0153low-emissions\u00e2\u20ac\u009d that still produce carbon pollution, and they tout their renewable fuel products that actually make up a fraction of a percent of their earnings.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>DAMAGING OUR STATE\n<ul>\n<li>Big Oil&#8217;s lies and cover ups have caused ongoing climate disasters that have imposed billions of dollars of costs on Californians. We should not have to foot the bill alone while oil companies profit.<\/li>\n<li>The suit demands that oil companies pay their fair share for:<br \/>\nRecovery efforts from climate change-induced superstorms and wildfires;<br \/>\nProtecting people from the health impacts of extreme heat;<br \/>\nManaging dwindling water supplies in extreme drought;<br \/>\nFortifying infrastructure and homes against sea level rise and coastal and inland flooding.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>What we&#8217;re asking the court to do:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Order the oil companies to pay for the costs of their impacts to the environment, human health, and Californians&#8217; livelihoods, and to help protect the state against the harms that climate change will cause in years to come;<\/li>\n<li><strong>Prohibit oil companies from engaging in further pollution and destruction<\/strong> of California communities and natural resources;<\/li>\n<li>Levy financial penalties on Big Oil for lying to the public, and order the industry to immediately stop its ongoing efforts to deceive or misinform about their catastrophic impacts;<\/li>\n<li>Award punitive damages to the state to punish these companies for their misconduct.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><a href=\"http:\/\/membrane.com\/global_warming\/go-net-zero.html\">What you can do today.
