*How the Supreme Court could finally force Big Oil to face trial*
Dozens of cities and states sued oil giants for deceiving the public. 
The Supreme Court could soon break these cases out of limbo.
Kate Yoder - Staff Writer
Published Feb 03, 2023
It’s been eight years since the world learned that “Exxon Knew.” The oil 
giant had grasped the dangers of burning fossil fuels since 1977, 
investigations showed, despite its long-standing public stance that the 
science was “uncertain” and persistent efforts to block legislation that 
would control carbon pollution. The revelations launched a wave of 
lawsuits that aimed to put fossil fuel companies on trial for deceiving 
the public about climate change.

In 2017, cities and counties in California started the trend by suing 
dozens of oil, gas, and coal companies using state “tort” laws meant to 
protect people from deceptive advertising. Attorneys general in other 
states filed similar suits of their own, beginning with Rhode Island in 
2018. It spurred speculation that Big Oil might face a reckoning for 
misleading the public about the dangers of climate change, much as Big 
Tobacco did in the 1990s after decades spent denying that smoking could 
cause cancer.

In the ensuing years, not a single one of these consumer-protection 
cases — now numbering nearly two dozen — made it to trial. They have 
bounced around between federal and state courts, with oil companies 
maneuvering to delay any action. “It says something about what the 
industry thinks is the power of these cases, that it has kept these up 
in procedural battles for over five years now,” said Karen Sokol, a law 
professor at Loyola University in New Orleans...
- -
Some other routes to legal action have already been tried and abandoned, 
such as New York state’s lawsuit that accused ExxonMobil of misleading 
shareholders about climate change. In 2019, a judge ruled that the New 
York state attorney general had failed to provide enough evidence that 
Exxon broke the law. Since then, Exxon has used the ruling to support 
the idea that the lawsuits against them are misguided. But the judge who 
ruled in Exxon’s favor made clear at the time that the suit was “a 
securities fraud case, not a climate change case
And there’s at least one completely new approach that doesn’t depend on 
the Supreme Court’s ruling.

A first-of-its-kind lawsuit filed by 16 towns in Puerto Rico in November 
accuses Chevron, ExxonMobil, Shell, and other fossil fuel companies of 
colluding to conceal how their products contribute to climate change. 
Their argument is that this collusion violated antitrust laws and the 
Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act, or RICO — a federal 
law passed in 1970 to take down the Mafia.

Racketeering cases relying on RICO have not only taken down mobsters 
like John Gotti and the Gambino crime family, but have also been 
successful against the Hell’s Angels biker gang, the Key West police 
department in Florida, as well as opioid manufacturers and tobacco 
companies. The Puerto Rico lawsuit seeks to make companies pay billions 
of dollars for the extensive damages that towns suffered during 
hurricanes Maria and Irma in 2017.

Because the lawsuit was filed in federal court, it won’t be pulled into 
the jurisdictional tug-of-war that has made other climate cases drag on 
for years.

“They’ve made it easy to prove,” said Melissa Sims, an attorney at 
Milberg, the Tennessee-based law firm representing the Puerto Rican 
cities, “because unlike all the other racketeering cases that have been 
on file, none of them included a written battle plan with a detailed 
division of labor on how they were going to accomplish their deception.”

Municipalities of Puerto Rico v. Exxon Mobil Corp.
Docket number(s): 3:22-cv-01550 Court/Admin Entity: D.P.R.
*SUMMARY*

    Puerto Rico Municipalities Filed Federal Suit Seeking Climate Change
    Damages from Fossil Fuel Companies. Sixteen Puerto Rico
    municipalities filed a lawsuit in the federal district court for the
    District of Puerto Rico seeking to hold coal, oil, and gas companies
    liable for losses resulting from storms during the 2017 hurricane
    season and ongoing economic losses since that time. The
    municipalities brought the action on their own behalf as well as on
    behalf of a proposed class of all of Puerto Rico’s municipalities.
    The municipalities alleged that the defendants were responsible for
    40.01% of all global industrial greenhouse gas emissions from 1965
    to 2017, and that these collective emissions were a “substantial
    factor in the increase in intensity of the 2017 Atlantic Hurricane
    Season.” The municipalities alleged that Puerto Rico “suffered
    apocalyptic damage” from two of those storms—Hurricanes Irma and
    Maria—which they alleged were intensified by climate change, “as
    accelerated by Defendants’ consumer products and conduct.” The
    plaintiffs contended that the defendants were liable because “they
    knowingly caused and contributed to the worsening of the climate
    change by producing, promoting, refining, marketing, and selling
    fossil fuel products … that have caused and continue to cause the
    devastating effects of climate change, while concealing and
    misrepresenting the dangers associated with the use of fossil
    fuel-based products, including the increased frequency of more
    dangerous storms.” The complaint alleged a “corporate worldwide
    strategy” to hide information linking the defendants’ products to
    acceleration of climate change and to an increased likelihood “that
    Puerto Rico and thus the Plaintiff Municipalities would be ravaged
    by dangerous, deadly storms.” In addition to more intense storms,
    the municipalities alleged other physical climate change impacts,
    including coral reef degradation and “an unprecedented, massive
    bloom of sargassum,” as well as social, educational, and economic
    losses, including increased immigration from the municipalities and
    damages to the agricultural industry. The municipalities asked that
    the defendants pay costs the plaintiffs had incurred and would
    continue to incur due to climate change. They also sought punitive
    damages, disgorgement of profits, pre-judgment interest, attorneys’
    and expert witness fees and other costs, and other equitable,
    declaratory and/or injunctive relief “to assure … an effective
    remedy.” They asserted 14 causes of action under federal and Puerto
    Rico law: claims of common law consumer fraud and conspiracy to
    commit common law consumer fraud and deceptive business practices,
    claims under Puerto Rico’s statute prohibiting false or misleading
    advertisements and practices, claims under the federal Racketeer
    Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO), federal antitrust
    claims, claims under Puerto Rico’s nuisance statute, strict
    liability claims based on failure to warn and design defect, a
    negligent design defect claim, and a cause of action for unjust
    enrichment/restitution.

/[ Western water now rare -- it's either deeply hidden, salty or up for 
sale  ] /
*Shrinking Colorado River hands Biden his first climate brawl*
California, Arizona and Nevada are among the states at odds over how to 
divide the river's water — a fight among powerful political and economic 
interests with dire consequences.
By ANNIE SNIDER
02/04/2023
A fracas among the seven states along the drought-stricken Colorado 
River is forcing the first major reckoning for the Biden administration 
over who should bear the pain of adapting to a changing climate.

At issue is whether it’s fair to use century-old rules, created during 
an era of relative abundance, to ration water from the rapidly 
shriveling river now that the West is on the precipice of climate 
disaster. With California and its six neighbors locked in a dispute over 
two competing approaches to divvying up the cuts in water deliveries, 
whatever the administration decides will almost certainly end up in court.

The dispute is an early glimpse of the type of fights the U.S. will face 
as the warming climate supercharges drought, wildfires, storms and 
floods, forcing wrenching choices over which communities get protected. 
Those decisions pose a political minefield — something President Joe 
Biden’s Interior Department is learning from the fight over the West’s 
most important river, which is creating existential risks for some of 
the country’s most economically and politically powerful states and 
industries.

The current feud centers on California, a longtime Democratic 
stronghold, and Arizona, a newfound swing state that has proven crucial 
to the party’s control of the White House and Senate.

The 1,450-mile long Colorado River made much of the West inhabitable, 
and now supplies water to 40 million Americans from Wyoming to the 
border with Mexico, as well as an enormously productive agricultural 
industry. But climate change has shriveled its flows by 20 percent over 
the past two decades, and for each additional degree of warming, 
scientists predict the river will shrink another 9 percent.

Water levels at the system’s two main reservoirs are falling so fast, 
the Interior Department has said that water users must cut consumption 
by as much as a third of the river’s flows or risk a collapse that could 
cripple their ability to deliver water out of those dams. That would 
also cut off hydropower production that is crucial to the stability of 
the Western grid...
- -
The state-level politics, alone, are a disaster for a Democratic 
administration.
- -
And while the immediate fight is centered on Arizona and California, the 
Upper Basin states of Wyoming, Colorado, Utah and New Mexico, which 
backed Arizona’s approach, have their own interest in moving toward a 
more flexible interpretation of century-old water rules. Climate change 
is expected to soon make it impossible for them to deliver the legally 
required amount of water to the Lower Basin without draconian cuts to 
their own cities and tribes — an even bigger brawl that will have to be 
fought out in the next two years.

But within each state, the fault lines aren’t always clear. Since 
Western water law allows whoever claimed the water first to be first in 
line, agricultural users often hold some of the strongest rights, 
whereas cities and suburbs are almost always the first to take cuts...
- -
Adding to the pressure on the Biden administration is the fact that 
lawmakers on Capitol Hill are increasingly jumping into the fray.
- -
The Biden administration won’t have to make any tough decision on who 
wins and who loses just yet, though. First, the Interior Department will 
need to publicly lay out exactly what effect the competing approaches 
would mean to communities and ecosystems across the West if the next few 
years turn out to be dry ones...
- -
Some of the state negotiators think this process of publicly detailing 
the exact risks and costs to communities of the two competing concepts 
could help energize the negotiations among the states.

If the analysis of California’s proposal shows the result would be 
“drying up the Central Arizona Project [and] major metropolitan areas 
and taking all of the water away from native American tribes, I think 
the choices will become really stark,” said John Entsminger, Nevada’s 
top Colorado River negotiator.
- -
“I definitely think there’s still a chance for a seven-state agreement, 
and I think the modeling outputs that are going to be public could be 
very helpful for helping drive some form of compromise,” he said.

Regardless of how the negotiations turn out and what Interior decides, 
many legal experts expect the fight to ultimately land in court...
- -
Even more concerning to federal, state and local water managers is the 
risk that a court decision, particularly from the conservative 
supermajority on the Supreme Court, could end up curtailing the federal 
government’s broad authorities to manage not just the Colorado River, 
but waterways across the West. This would be occurring at a time when 
climate change requires flexibility to adapt to hydrologic systems that 
are evolving in unprecedented and unpredictable ways...
- -
“The court could impose real limits on its ability to adapt existing 
laws to hydrologic and climatologic realities,” Larson said. “That’s 
something that the Bureau of Reclamation doesn’t want to do for 
practical reasons — climate change is changing our hydrologic systems 
and we need to be able to adapt it — and also for institutional reasons. 
No one likes to give up power.”...

*Congrats Exxon: You’re Killing It (Our Climate, That Is)*
KLAUS MARRE
02/05/23
https://whowhatwhy.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/amazon_polly_74149.mp3?version=1675599074

On Tuesday, Exxon served a powerful reminder of why we are in this 
predicament — and it takes neither artificial intelligence nor a genius 
to connect the dots here: The oil giant announced that it had posted a 
record profit of $56 billion in 2022. This means that, in the time it 
takes you to finish this paragraph, Exxon will have made $50,000… from 
killing the environment.

To add insult to injury (at least if you think that making the planet 
uninhabitable is bad), the one damper on this excellent earnings report, 
at least in Exxon’s view, was that the European Union imposed a windfall 
tax of $1.3 billion on the company’s fourth quarter earnings.

The oil giant thinks that such a tax is “unlawful and bad policy.” We, 
on the other hand, believe that tax should be much higher and that the 
executives whose greed is killing the environment should be held to account.

To drive home the point of why all of this is really, really bad, 
another study published Wednesday said that the problem isn’t a lack of 
technologies that could prevent global warming but rather that we — both 
as countries and individuals — just don’t care enough about this problem.

Finally, on Thursday, Shell also announced that it posted a record 
profit, of $40 billion. In the story on this historic haul, the BBC 
included this nugget: “Despite the move, Shell had said it did not 
expect to pay any UK tax this year as it is allowed to offset 
decommissioning costs and investments in UK projects against any UK 
profits.”

And that really sums up the problem. As a society, we have made killing 
profitable. In this case, “we” refers to the lawmakers who have been 
bought and paid for by the dirty money of oil companies and other 
polluters, arms manufacturers, and the tobacco industry (a study 
published in 2019 showed that the latter, as well as the coal industry, 
kills more people annually than it employs). There are plenty of others, 
such as social media companies, who are profiting from creating misery 
while escaping any semblance of accountability.

Together, they have ensured that making products designed to kill 
people, destroy the environment, or create divisiveness is good business.

Perhaps the most obscene aspect of this week’s news is that Exxon’s 
stock went down. Clearly, investors felt that the company hadn’t harmed 
the environment enough. Maybe next time, gents!

The one positive is that this corporate (and personal) greed, combined 
with a total disregard for the common good, can’t go on forever. 
Allowing so few to profit off the suffering of so many is simply not 
sustainable.

Unfortunately, neither is our environment. And, as the studies show, the 
clock is not only ticking, it’s skipping ahead. Chances are that we 
won’t fix these issues before millions of people lose their homes and 
livelihoods because of climate change.

But at least the 1 percent will be a bit richer.

By the way, this isn’t a plea to abandon capitalism per se. The 
innovations that a rewards-based economic system can spark will be 
sorely needed in the future. It is only fair that the people who can 
come up with solutions to seemingly insurmountable problems should be 
rewarded… and then those rewards should be taxed heavily.

That’s a system that would work.

What clearly isn’t working, however, is the inhumane, cruel capitalism 
that is being practiced now. It rewards those who have and not those who 
can. And it does so at the expense of the only habitat we have.

It seems inevitable that the many will demand change at some point. 
Sadly, it seems just as inevitable that it will be too late.

*Harvard Misinformation Expert Joan Donovan Forced to Leave by Kennedy 
School Dean, Sources Say*
Harvard Kennedy School Dean Douglas W. Elmendorf is forcing out online 
misinformation expert Joan M. Donovan from her role at the Shorenstein 
Center on Media, Politics and Public Policy and ending her research 
project, according to three HKS staff members with knowledge of the 
situation.
MILES J. HERSZENHORN
February 2, 2023

Harvard Kennedy School Dean Douglas W. Elmendorf is forcing out online 
misinformation expert Joan M. Donovan from her role at the Shorenstein 
Center on Media, Politics and Public Policy and ending her research 
project, according to three HKS staff members with knowledge of the 
situation.

Donovan was told she has until summer 2024 to end the Technology and 
Social Change project and depart from her role at HKS, according to the 
staff members. Donovan, who is not a tenure-track professor, has led the 
project since its inception in 2019 and serves as the Shorenstein 
Center’s research director. Donovan has also taught at HKS as an adjunct 
lecturer in public policy.

In addition, Donovan was told her prominence at the school led Elmendorf 
to end her time at the Shorenstein Center, two HKS staff members said.

HKS spokesperson James F. Smith confirmed in an emailed statement that 
the project is ending.

“The Technology and Social Change project is winding down — through an 
extended transition — because it does not have intellectual and academic 
leadership by a full HKS faculty member, as required of all long-term 
research and outreach projects at HKS,” Smith wrote.

As part of the School’s decision to end the Technology and Social Change 
project, Donovan is not allowed to raise new funding, according to the 
three HKS staff members. The project is also facing a hiring freeze and 
spending constraints on existing funding, the staff members said.

Donovan declined to comment on her status at HKS and the termination of 
her project.

Donovan received her Ph.D. in sociology and science studies from the 
University of California San Diego in 2015, before joining the Data and 
Society Research Institute in 2016, where she served as research lead on 
a team studying media manipulation.

In 2019, Donovan joined the Shorenstein Center to serve as the director 
and lead researcher of the Technology and Social Change project.

At Harvard, Donovan was a leading force in bringing the study of 
misinformation and disinformation to prominence in academia. Donovan has 
testified in front of House and Senate subcommittees on the spread of 
misinformation online.

Tensions between Elmendorf and Donovan rose in fall 2021, according to 
three HKS staff members, around when Donovan started to work on HKS’ 
Facebook archive project, fbarchive.org. The archive will provide 
researchers and journalists with access to photos of documents obtained 
by Frances B. Haugen, the 2021 Facebook whistleblower who disclosed 
internal Facebook research on its technologies’ negative effects.

A year later, at the start of the fall 2022 semester, Donovan was 
informed that the Technology and Social Change project would ultimately 
end in summer 2024.

In mid-September 2022, HKS professor Latanya A. Sweeney joined Donovan 
as co-principal investigator for the Technology and Social Change 
project, the first time Donovan was not its sole head.

Donovan taught the HKS course Democracy, Politics and Institutions 622: 
“Media Manipulation and Disinformation Campaigns” and co-authored a 
widely-read study in July 2022 that found a plurality of participants in 
the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol were motivated by their support for 
Trump. In September 2022, Donovan published a book titled “Meme Wars: 
The Untold Story of the Online Battles Upending Democracy in America” 
about the online spread of right-wing media political conspiracy theories.

Smith, an HKS spokesperson, wrote in the statement that the school is 
continuing to promote scholarship in the field of misinformation and 
disinformation.

“Harvard Kennedy School is committed to the teaching and study of 
misinformation and disinformation, and several faculty members are 
leading significant projects that address these topics,” he wrote.

In a Thursday morning email obtained by The Crimson, Shorenstein Center 
Director Nancy R. Gibbs wrote to center affiliates that the decision to 
shut down the Technology and Social Change project was “solely driven” 
by HKS policy of only allowing full professors to lead research projects.

“While there can be limited exceptions, those can't continue 
indefinitely without a faculty member as the principal project leader 
and academic head,” Gibbs wrote in the email.

Donovan declined to comment on the contents of the letter.

The Technology and Social Change project — which lists a team of more 
than 25 people on its website including staff, fellows, contributing 
researchers, and research assistants — has been led by Donovan since 2019.

Gibbs sent the email hours after The Crimson first reported that HKS 
would end the Technology and Social Change project by summer 2024.

Gibbs wrote that other initiatives led by faculty members related to the 
study of misinformation and disinformation would continue at the 
Shorenstein Center, including the Facebook archive project and the 
Misinformation Review, an online academic journal.

In recent weeks, Elmendorf has been the subject of controversy.

He faced backlash in January over his rejection of a fellowship for 
former Human Rights Watch head Kenneth Roth. Elmendorf, who allegedly 
blocked Roth over anti-Israel criticism, reversed his decision after 
more than 1,000 Harvard affiliates signed an open letter calling for his 
resignation.

/[ Boston Globe report ]/
*Harvard winding down misinformation expert Joan Donovan’s research over 
school policy*
By Anissa Gardizy Globe Staff, February 3, 2023,
The Harvard Kennedy School plans to wind down a research project led by 
prominent misinformation expert Joan Donovan, who is the research 
director of the Shorenstein Center on Media, Politics, and Public Policy.

Started in 2019, the Technology and Social Change Project studies how 
media manipulation impacts public conversation, democracy, and society. 
News of the project winding down, which was first reported by The 
Harvard Crimson on Thursday, sparked backlash from researchers and 
journalists on social media.

The work must end because of a school policy, which requires all 
research projects be led by full faculty members, said Nancy Gibbs, 
director of the Shorenstein Center, in an e-mail obtained by the Globe.

“While there can be limited exceptions, those can’t continue 
indefinitely,” she wrote in a note to staff Thursday. “The decision to 
wind the TaSC project down is solely driven by that policy, which has 
been followed across the school for many years.”
In a separate e-mail sent to Shorenstein Center advisory board members 
on Friday, Gibbs addressed the widespread attention the situation has 
garnered.

“This just reminded me that people outside of academia (including me 
before I came here) often don’t know the details about how the place 
works or how research is organized and supervised,” she wrote.

Donovan declined to comment for this story.

Gibbs said in the e-mail to staff that Harvard Kennedy School dean Doug 
Elmendorf told Donovan last summer that the Technology and Social Change 
Project would need to wind down by June 2024, since research at the 
school must be led by a faculty member. The project is fully funded 
until then, but Elmendorf said Donovan could not expand with new 
funding, staff, or large new initiatives.

During her time at Harvard, Donovan has become one of the most 
high-profile researchers on online extremism, media manipulation, and 
disinformation campaigns. She is regularly quoted by media outlets, has 
testified before Congress, and recently published “Meme Wars,” a book 
she coauthored with two other members of the Technology and Social 
Change Project.
Though Harvard says its decision stems from a school policy, it has 
prompted some people in academic and media circles to speak out about 
the importance of Donovan’s work. Laura Edelson, a postdoctoral 
researcher in computer science at New York University, said what was 
done to Donovan is “frightening.”

“We’re in a race to study how and why social media is so vulnerable to 
misinformation so we can make these systems safer,” Edelson wrote on 
Twitter. “We need her research, and we need her.”

Taylor Lorenz, a tech columnist at the Washington Post, tweeted that 
“This is absolutely horrible news, this team was doing essential work 
demystifying the way bad actors manipulate the internet.”

Gibbs wrote in her e-mail that other work on misinformation at the 
school will continue, such as at The Harvard Kennedy School 
Misinformation Review and the Public Interest Tech Lab, which are run by 
full faculty members.

Donovan received a PhD in sociology and science studies from the 
University of California San Diego in 2015. Donovan led research on 
media manipulation and platform accountability at the Data and Society 
Research Institute in New York before coming to the Shorenstein Center 
in 2018.
