There has been a wave of cases in which fossil fuel companies have been dragged to court over the accusation of making living conditions worse for residents of a city and the government having to spend taxpayer money to fix such problems. The latest IPCC report also talks about the influence of fossil fuel companies in diluting the intensity of climate action.

A recent strategy of oil companies is to deflect the burden of carbon emissions towards individuals through advertisements and campaigning.
