Last Friday, just before the AGU meeting started, the tiny town of Carrboro, North Carolina, announced that it was suing the giant gas and electric utility Duke Energy. Just like the Exxons and Chevrons and Shells, Duke engaged in a half-century of well-documented climate deception, and Carrboro is suing for climate damage caused by this deception. Carrboro Town Hall is 10 minutes from my house, so I headed over for the press conference.
