‘Cannot Have It Both Ways’: Judge Delivers Fatal Blow To New York City’s Lawsuit Against Energy Companies

New York Supreme Court Justice Anar Patel tossed the lawsuit, writing in her ruling that the city could not simultaneously argue that New Yorkers were aware of the relationship between fossil fuels and climate change while being allegedly misled by oil companies about their role in climate change, according to Reuters. New York City’s lawsuit against Exxon Mobil, BP and Shell was one of many similar suits filed in Democrat-controlled jurisdictions seeking massive compensation from energy corporations for their supposed role in driving climate change.

“The city cannot have it both ways,” Patel wrote in the ruling, according to Reuters. She added that she did not find any evidence that the companies or the American Petroleum Institute engaged in a deliberate “greenwashing” effort to mislead consumers.
