BOULDER, Colo. -- At a rally on Pearl Street in Boulder on Tuesday, city and county leaders announced they will be suing two major energy producers, ExxonMobil and Suncor, alleging they are responsible for climate change.
"This is about fiscal responsibility, it's about climate accountability," Boulder Mayor Suzanne Jones said.
"Local governments simply cannot afford to foot the bill of climate change alone so we are asking for compensation for those companies who have benefited tremendously huge profits from fossil fuels."
Matt Dempsey with the Western Energy Alliance, a group that advocates on behalf of oil and gas producers, called the action a "political stunt" by Boulder leaders.
"This is a media stunt, this is a way to look like they are doing something. Meanwhile, the oil and gas industry is doing substantial efforts to address climate change," Dempsey said.
