"NY Attorney General Sues JBS Over Misleading Climate Claims"

New York Attorney General Letitia James is suing JBS Foods, the world's largest beef producer, for false advertising regarding sustainability claims, alleging that the company made misleading pledges to curb deforestation and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. The lawsuit seeks $454 million in damages and aims to halt JBS's "Net Zero by 2040" campaign. This legal action comes as James also pursues a nearly $355 million fine from former President Trump in a civil fraud case, with interest accruing at over $112,000 per day.

"Greta Thunberg and London Protesters Cleared of Charges in Climate Demonstration Trial"

Climate activist Greta Thunberg and her co-defendants were acquitted of charges for refusing to follow a police order to leave a protest blocking the entrance to an oil and gas industry conference in London. The judge cited significant deficiencies in the evidence and ruled that the police order to disperse was so unclear that it was unlawful. The protest was described as peaceful, civilized, and nonviolent. Thunberg and other climate protesters have accused fossil fuel companies of deliberately slowing the global energy transition to renewables and oppose the U.K. government's recent approval of drilling for oil in the North Sea.

"US Supreme Court Denies Big Oil's Attempt to Transfer Minnesota Climate Trial"

The US Supreme Court rejected a plea from big oil to move the venue of a 2020 climate lawsuit filed by the state of Minnesota, bringing the state closer to putting the fossil fuel industry on trial for allegedly covering up the dangers of burning coal, oil, and gas. This decision marks the third time the Supreme Court has denied petitions from the fossil fuel industry to review jurisdiction in climate deception lawsuits, signaling a significant legal setback for the defendants.
