Climate Change Liabilities

I actually wrote this several months ago but did not publish for one reason or another. Can I claim I tipped this?

Much was made at the time of plaintiff law firms warning large companies to get their ducks in a line with respect to climate change mitigation. Perhaps the same law firms might also send similar letters to firms on the other side peddling hysteria and misrepresenting the reliability and predictions of climate models. A lot of people have spent a lot of money based on those representations. If they turn out to be wrong or exaggerated then they would have the right to be angry and consider seeking compensation.

P.S. Those same companies and individuals should also check the quality of their own professional indemnity insurance covers.
