Letter: Time to take oil industry to court?

TIMES RECORD • May 4, 2022

We need liability lawyers to go after the fossil fuel companies. After watching a PBS Frontline episode about how the fossil fuel industry obstructed legislation to slow climate change in the 1990s, I was truly shocked. Exxon knew that climate change was going to threaten the planet. Their scientists reported to the leaders of Exxon that the earth was headed for a “catastrophe.” It would be best if our politicians would pass a strong carbon fee and dividend now, but they continue to fiddle while the world burns. ~ Nancy Hasenfus, Brunswick
