A New York Supreme Court judge dismissed a lawsuit by New York City against Exxon, BP, and Shell alleging they misled the public about climate change.
A New York Supreme Court judge has dismissed a lawsuit brought by New York City authorities against three oil supermajors, alleging that they misled New Yorkers about the effect of using their products on the climate. The city sued Exxon , BP, and Shell , with allegations that have been used to sue other Big Oil companies across the States and elsewhere.
“The city cannot have it both ways,” Patel wrote in his decision, as quoted by Reuters. She then went on to dismiss the other allegations made by New York City, namely, that Big Oil majors falsely advertised themselves as big investors in transition technology only to actually promote the marketing of their petroleum products. According to Judge Patel, there was no evidence that Exxon’s, BP’s, and Shell’s advertising campaigns contained any “greenwashing” elements.
