"These lawsuits are an important step for society to free itself from the grasp of this lethal industry. Most directly, the suits can provide the billions necessary for communities to repair climate damages and fortify their infrastructure for the storms ahead." - Lee Wasserman
"We’re not in this mess because we heat our homes or drive our children to school, which is what the fossil fuel companies want us to think. We’re victims of a small group of gargantuan companies that recklessly and deliberately ignored the implications of their own science."
This week the case against Exxon starts in NY State. We'll have to see what the judge decides on securities law.

But as Lee Wasserman puts it: "when it comes to the moral repugnancy of the company’s climate deception, the verdict is in."

#ExxonKnew and Exxon lied.
