Newsmax: California Sues Big Oil: Attorney Andrew Lieb Makes the Case for Climate Change Lawsuit

Attorney Andrew Lieb joins Newsmax to discuss the major climate change lawsuit filed against ExxonMobil, Shell, Chevron and BP. California alleges the oil giants deceived the public about the risks of fossil fuels and caused billions in damages. Lieb details the evidence from company documents showing that they knew about climate change for decades but funded disinformation campaigns instead of taking action. This important conversation analyzes the strengths of California's case and whether it could set a precedent for other states to hold Big Oil accountable for climate damages.
