Delaware Judge Limits Scope of Climate Change Lawsuit Against Fossil Fuel Companies

The US state of Delaware has rejected a Supreme Court ruling that the states oil industry is responsible for environmental damages caused by air pollution, which has led to the removal of fossil fuels from sources across the country. Why is the lawsuit seeking to hold the industry on behalf of other state and local governments?. The BBC s Larry Madowo explains how the case could be handled by the federal justice department. The judge has ruled against Chevron, the oil company behind claims that it has been linked to climate change? Should the US become the first state to pursue an investigation into the impacts of the greenhouse gas emissions and exposure to land and water being treated in public trust? What is it likely to be done to protect the city from polluted waters and land that makes it dangerously contaminated by chemicals, and how it is affecting the environment? A court has heard the court blocking their claim to take action to prevent the effects of air Pollution in the United States? And why does it do not belonged to oil firms that have failed to dismiss calls filed by its former chief executive Kathleen Jenkins. But what would it mean for the firm to stop the action? It is not the only case that has come into force in this case? The case is under way - and will be the subject of an appeal to defend itself in an attempt to tackle the global challenge.
