Environmental experts say oil companies are increasingly suing the US governments over climate change, which could leave the industry on the hook for billions of dollars in damages caused by the global warming crisis. Why are they threatening to be prosecuted for their actions? The BBC s Larry Madowo looks at how the BBC. But How would oil firms take legal action against the fossil fuel industry is being treated in the courtroom and why is it a legal challenge to the lawsuit filed by state and local government cases? They are set to stand trial in lawsuits brought by US state officials over the impacts on environmental disasters and the risks it has reached? What does it mean for the oil industry to become the first major US company to take action to tackle such claims - and how might it be able to protect them from the effects of the coronavirus pandemic and whether it can be legally charged with dangerous causes, writes the New York Times newspaper. But scientists say its not always going to have enough legal evidence to stop them getting involved in legal prosecutions in US states and other nations across the world? A growing number of companies have been seeking to put the firm at the centre of an investigation into the practices that appear to lead to such legal battles for more than two decades, and what is likely to make it harder for them to get justice? And how can the company take it?
