Puerto Rico is suing fossil fuel companies over climate damages, saying that the industry knew about the dangers of its products and that the island is paying the price

Kids bike in an area without grid power or running water about two weeks after Hurricane Maria swept through the island on October 5, 2017 in San Isidro, Puerto Rico. The island is seeking to hold the oil industry financially responsible for hurricanes and other disasters that may be worsened by rising temperatures.

But even as oil companies took steps to protect their own assets from climate change, he said, they “failed to truthfully warn Puerto Rican consumers about the consequences of using and burning fossil fuels on the Island, as well as their impact on the environment.” "The challenge of our time is developing technologies and public policies so that the world can produce and use energy in ways that are sustainable for the planet while being affordable to people," Goldberg said."It should not be figuring out how to creatively plead lawsuits that seek to monetize climate change and provide no solutions.”to sue the oil industry this year in an effort to hold energy producers financially accountable for the effects of climate change.
