In Canada, @wcelaw.bsky.social is urging municipalities to join a proposed class-action #suebigoil lawsuit that demands oil companies driving the climate crisis cover the cost of mitigation & adaptation measures. A total of 11 municipalities have signed on. www.nationalobserver.com/2025/09/10/n...

“At some level, we are all collectively responsible for climate change, but at the same time, this type of paper just makes it that much clearer how much more responsible these companies are,” said Andrew Gage, a staff lawyer with West Coast Environmental Law. www.ctvnews.ca/vancouver/ar...

More and more and more of this please. Line up the issues at scale and make #BigOil pay! 👏🏻💪🏻👍🏻 CHEVRON REFINERY AGREES TO PAY $550 MILLION SETTLEMENT TO CITY OF RICHMOND #uspoli #polluterpay #alltheway abc7news.com/post/chevron...

It took Natalia and Elizabeth <5 mins to deliver a speech asking Coquitlam Council to track the city’s climate costs and consider joining Sue Big Oil ... and about the same amount of time for Council to blow them off!" @cityofcoquitlam.bsky.social You can/must do better for the next gen!

“If we think that climate change is costly now, imagine how much more those high school students will need to pay when they become homeowners and taxpayers.” Thanks former BC Minister of Env John Cashore for op ed about why suing big oil makes good financial sense vancouversun.com/opinion/op-e...

Kudos to the whole #SueBigOil Tri-Cities team - with a special shout out to the youth who led the delegation. “This lawsuit has the power to take the burden off of my generation’s shoulders.” -Natalia Narvaez Jurado tricitiesdispatch.com/sue-big-oil-...

Last night, Richmond #SueBigOil volunteer, Cathy Yan, delivered an excellent presentation to council. Council voted 8-1 to refer the draft motion to staff. @cityofrichmondbc.bsky.social - can you reallly afford not to try to recover some of your sky-high climate change costs? #makepolluterspay

Parts of BC could reach 32°C today. 4 years after the 2021 heat dome, doctors say we’re still building cities that trap heat. “Without more trees, BC’s next heat dome could be even deadlier.” Op-ed by @cape-acme.bsky.social & @sierraclubbc.bsky.social www.timescolonist.com/opinion/comm...

Coquitlam #SueBigOil supporters gathered at Coquitlam City Hall today to urge @cityofcoquitlam to explore recovering a fair share of the city’s costs from the world’s largest polluters instead of passing those costs on to taxpayers.

We’re at our second City Council meeting of the day—this time it’s Richmond. Our Richmond team has some serious sign-making talents. Wish us luck!

Now at Coquitlam City Hall. @suebigoil.bsky.social Getting ready to talk to city council. Wish us luck.

CA lawmakers say insurers should #SueBigOil instead of raising premiums. Cities across BC facing the same choice: raise taxes or hold polluters accountable. Big Oil caused the crisis. Communities shouldn’t be stuck paying for it. #MakePollutersPay climateintegrity.org/news/view/el...

Reminder that increased risks of wildfire and prolonged drought in BC is thanks to the #ClimateCrisis and the #FossilFuel economy—preparedness must also include ways to recover rising costs from those that profit most from fossil fuels 👉 @suebigoil.bsky.social

The Dryden Creek fire north of Squamish, B.C., is just the latest blaze burning near a city. Join with thousands of British Columbians working to protect their communities and hold polluters accountable for these dangerous climate-fueled disasters. www.cbc.ca/player/play/...

“They thought we wouldn’t put up a fight. But they were wrong.”

The Higher Regional Court of Hamm made legal history last week: In a ruling on the case brought by Peruvian Saúl Luciano Lliuya against German energy giant RWE, the judges confirmed that large emitters can be held accountable under German civil law for the consequences of climate change!

“It’s only going to get worse”: as wildfire experts ring alarm bells about the Manitoba wildfire situation, residents need to learn to live with a new — smoky and flammable — reality. via @jsrutgers.bsky.social thenarwhal.ca/manitoba-wil...

🌍A climate case that changed the game: After 10 years, Saúl Luciano Lliuya’s case vs. RWE ends. His claim was dismissed, but a European court affirmed that corporate polluters can be held liable for climate harm, even across borders. A milestone for climate justice. 👇 just-access.de/saul-v-rwe-a...

Colossal Canadian wildfires again this year An area almost the size of Luxembourg burned in Manitoba alone Record-smashing late Spring temperatures in Europe too It's going to be a long, hot, climate-changed, summer www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Wildfires in the Canadian province of Manitoba, which shares a border with the United States, have prompted authorities to declare a state of emergency and order tens of thousands of people to leave their homes. Winds will likely blow wildfire smoke into Midwestern states.

A Dutch NGO announced on Tuesday that it is launching a case against Shell, with the core demand that the oil immediately stop investing in any new oil and gas fields. The same group successfully sued Shell in 2021 to reduce its carbon emissions.

It's not just Coquitlam. Extreme weather fueled by climate change is overwhelming existing infrastructure and budgets in communities across BC. The question is, should taxpayers have to foot the bill alone?

When wildfires intensified by climate change devastate communities, leaving people without homes, and infrastructure in ruins, it begs the question: who should pay the costs of rebuilding and making communities resilient? We say: fossil fuel companies – those who caused the crisis – NOT taxpayers.

Big Oil’s feeling the heat—and the DOJ just tried to bail them out. But Hawaii isn’t backing down. The fight to make polluters pay is only growing. 🌍✊ climateintegrity.org/news/view/un...

@williammetcalfe.bsky.social covers Nelson's decision to join Sue Big Oil www.nelsonstar.com/local-news/n...

Nelson just joined 10 other BC municipalities—representing 390,000+ people—backing a class action lawsuit to make Big Oil pay for climate damages. Wildfires, floods, rising costs—fossil fuel giants caused it. Communities shouldn’t foot the bill. suebigoil.ca/nelson-votes...

Big news from Pemberton: Village Council just unanimously voted to join the movement to hold Big Oil accountable for the costs of climate change. They’re the 10th BC municipality to step up. This momentum is real—and it’s growing. suebigoil.ca/pemberton-be... #SueBigOil #ClimateAction #Pemberton

Love it when people use their own words and mediums to explain why their community needs to #SueBigOil. We can't afford the alternative. #BCPoli #StopMotion #Animation www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Qm9...

The fossil fuel industry will always appear profitable, and will make decisions that put their profits ahead of our safety, as long as they do not pay even a fraction of the #climatecosts that their products cause. Want CEOs and politicians to make better decisions for our planet? #SueBigOil

Excited to see the Supreme Court of Canada confirm the role of #classactions in governments holding manufacturers of harmful products accountable. Today #Opioids; tomorrow let's #SueBigOil. #BCpoli #climatechange www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...
