"This law doesn’t depend on proof of deception, or false advertising, or the campaign to sow doubt about #ClimateChange that the companies are accused of in over 30 lawsuits across the country. The companies are liable by virtue of what they do. It’s not that they’ve committed anything wrong, necessarily—”#PolluterPays” is the concept here.
The fact that your product creates carbon pollution, which is driving climate change, that’s enough to make you liable."
