There have been climate change lawsuits in the past, but it's always encouraging to see action in this area. We all know that there has been a lot of deception going on and a lot of people with vested interests doing everything in there power to stop the public pushing for change. Now is the time to see if this dishonesty rises to the level of criminal conspiracy:
"This is the first lawsuit where the claim is made that the defendants, principally organized by ExxonMobil, have organized and orchestrated collusively a movement to deceive the public about whether global warming was occurring, whether it was occurring by cause of manmade activity or something else, and as a result, the public didn’t demand changes and let this go on for so long."
