Ann Carlson quoted in US News & World Report: Exxon Mobil Scores Big Win in Climate Trial, But More Battles Loom

Ann Carlson says the case will have “virtually no effect” on other climate lawsuits. “This is a very specific set of facts under a very specific state statute that is unique to the state of New York,” Carlson, who has done pro bono consulting for some plaintiffs in climate cases, said in an email. “As the judge made clear in his ruling, this is a securities case, not a case about Exxon’s contribution to climate change.”
