California sues five major oil companies for 'decades-long campaign of deception' about climate change
Author Summary
Independent-Snow-909 is in California
Post Body

It has long been my argument that US courts put US and Western Countries businesses at a disadvantage to foreign firms. This is due to Western firms broadly falling under the influence of US laws. For example, if toy companies can potentially be sued for harmful substances if they are a US company. Then toys will be manufactured in China and imported where it is much more difficult to sue the producer.

This case is clear evidence for the double standards western firms are held to. California is sueing Western oil companies for climate change while leaving out the main suppliers of oil, which are state-backed firms like Sudi Aramco. I am not sure what the solution should be, but simply exporting liabilities by importing products can't be the solution.
