New York City to Sue Oil and Gas Giants Amid Fossil Fuel Divestment
-------------------------------------------------------------------

New York City said Wednesday it will sue five fossil fuel giants over
their contributions to global warming. The suit, targeting BP, Chevron,
Conoco Phillips, Exxon Mobil and Royal Dutch Shell, came as New York
City Mayor Bill de Blasio announced plans to divest some $5 billion in
fossil fuel investments from the city's public employee pension fund.
