(Reuters) – New York City is suing three major oil companies and the top industry trade group in state court after a federal appeals court this month rejected its effort to hold the companies liable to help pay the costs of harm caused by global warming.<\/p>\n

The lawsuit filed on Thursday said Exxon Mobil Corp, BP Plc, Royal Dutch Shell and industry group the American Petroleum Institute \u201chave systematically and intentionally misled consumers\u201d about \u201cthe central role their products play in causing the climate crisis.\u201d<\/p>\n

The companies have misrepresented the fuels sold at their branded stations as \u201ccleaner\u201d and \u201cemissions-reducing,\u201d the lawsuit says.<\/p>\n

Earlier this month, the 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Manhattan ruled in a separate lawsuit in favor of BP, Chevron Corp, ConocoPhillips, Exxon and Shell, and said the regulation of greenhouse gas emissions should be addressed under federal law and international treaties.<\/p>\n

That court rejected the city\u2019s efforts to sue under state nuisance law for damages caused by the companies\u2019 \u201cadmittedly legal\u201d production and sale of fossil fuels, and said the city\u2019s federal common law claims were displaced by the federal Clean Air Act.<\/p>\n

The lawsuit, filed in 2018, was an early effort among U.S. states and municipalities to turn to the courts and use state law to address climate change.<\/p>\n
