The suit is the latest effort to hold companies like BP America, Chevron, Peabody Energy, Duke Energy and the Southern Company responsible for the impact of global warmingโ€ฆIn an unusual move, those five companies and three other defendants โ€” the Exxon Mobil Corporation, American Electric Power and the Conoco Phillips Company โ€” are also accused ofย conspiracy.
