The state claims that big oil companies have intentionally covered up their role in exacerbating climate change since at least the 1970s.
Friday's complaint is demanding remedies based on seven claims, including that the oil companies and the API engaged in false advertising and the destruction of natural resources.
API's Senior Vice President Ryan Meyers echoed this sentiment:"This ongoing, coordinated campaign to wage meritless, politicized lawsuits against a foundational American industry and its workers is nothing more than a distraction from important national conversations and an enormous waste of California taxpayer resources."
"There's precedent for these major tort movements against industries marketing their products as safe when in fact they were harmful," said Silverman-Roati.
