Earlier this month, the New Hampshire House of Representatives voted against a measure that would have encouraged state leaders to sue American energy companies over climate change damages. The effort appears to have been coordinated by the Center for Climate Integrity, the activist group working behind (and in front of) the scenes to drive similar litigation across the country.
EID Climate has previously detailed the extent of coordination between CCI and elected officials in state and local jurisdictions – most recently in New Jersey, where emails released in response to public records requests revealed a host of services CCI provides to taxpayer funded entities, including “ghost writing,” polling, draft messaging, and even draft climate resolutions.
