Maine's AG sues major oil firms for deceiving public on climate impacts of fossil fuels.

Maine's Attorney General, Aaron Frey, has filed a lawsuit against major oil companies, accusing them of deceiving the public about the impacts of fossil fuels on climate change. The lawsuit in state court alleges that companies like BP, Chevron, ExxonMobil, Shell, and Sunoco, along with the American Petroleum Institute, knew about the severe climate impacts from fossil fuels since the 1960s but did not warn the public. Maine seeks to hold these companies accountable for the financial, public health, and environmental damages caused by climate change.
