Hawaii’s Supreme Court Rejects Big Oil’s Attempt to Scrap Climate Case
Hawaii’s Supreme Court on Tuesday rejected U.S. oil giants’ effort to scrap a climate deception lawsuit brought by the City and County of Honolulu, allowing the case to head to trial. Filed in 2020, the lawsuit accuses ExxonMobil, Chevron, Shell, Sunoco, and other major oil and gas companies of introducing and promoting fossil fuel products that they knew were a threat to the world’s climate.
