Post Carbon Fellow Bill McKibben and author Naomi Klein’s participation in a mock trial of ExxonMobil at the Paris Climate talks was reported in the National Observer.

From the article:

The event, “Exxon v. the People,” highlighted a New York state attorney’s action against ExxonMobil last month to investigate the company’s alleged illegal spreading of global warming denial for decades— against state investor laws that prohibit firms from deliberately misleading the public.

McKibben, fresh off a 350.org-led campaign that killed Keystone XL, told National Observer in Paris that the company’s recent legal troubles have become the “central environmental campaign of our time—an attempt to make Exxon accountable, and by extension to make it clear that the fossil fuel industry stands in the way of real progress.”
