" Energy producers facing a #ClimateLawsuit from the city of Honolulu are asking the U.S. Supreme Court to intervene in the case, which could have sweeping implications.
The energy companies have petitioned the #SupremeCourt to review the case that could block state and local governments, including Honolulu, from pursuing state lawsuits that accuse fuel producers of duping the public about #ClimateChange."

More than two dozen state and local governments, including California, have sued companies for their role in the climate crisis, making claims that the companies deceived the public in a quest for profit."
"In a submission to the international criminal court on Monday, [Vanuatu, Fiji, and Samoa] propose a change in the rules to recognise “ecocide” as a crime alongside genocide and war crimes."

"It’s not just industry groups: nearly half of the country’s chief legal officers are asking the nation’s top court to intervene in a local government’s #ClimateLawsuit.
To understand how these 20 state attorneys general are connected to the fossil fuel industry, you first must understand The Republican Attorneys General Association, known as #RAGA."

"The European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) ruled Tuesday that Switzerland had not acted urgently to achieve climate targets, leading victims, who are mostly in their 70s, to suffer physically and emotionally while potentially placed at risk of dying."
"A quarter of Americans now live in cities and states taking companies to court over lying to the public.

Reading a great piece by
@petergleick about the recent #Montana #ClimateLawsuit, I learned the #Pennsylvania constitution has a similar provision!
“While today only a few other states have “green” provisions in their constitutions protecting citizen’s rights to a “clean and healthful environment for present and future generations”—including Pennsylvania, Hawaii, Massachusetts, and Illinois—more than a dozen others are considering them.“
Great piece by @petergleick puts this win in perspective.
"The clear acceptance of the facts of #ClimateChange and the strength of climate science will make future attempts in court cases to dismiss climate science untenable. The case provides a roadmap for how to present the science, and clearly establishes the threat of climate harm to humans, future generations, and the environment, which will make it easier to do so in future cases."
