California Cities vs. Big Oil: Who Wins the Climate War? | Graham Elwood

In this video, Graham Elwood examines a Los Angeles Times report on coastal California cities and counties (including Imperial Beach, Marin, and San Mateo) filing groundbreaking lawsuits against major oil and coal companies to hold them financially liable for rising sea levels and climate change damages. Graham discusses climate science, the economic impacts of global sea-level rise, the political obstructionism of climate change deniers, and the urgent need for a Green New Deal.
