			== New Jersey Superior Court ==

			The state of New Jersey filed a lawsuit October 2022 against [[Exxon Mobil]], [[Shell Oil]], [[Chevron]], [[British Petroleum]], [[ConocoPhillips]], and the [[American Petroleum Institute]], the oil industry's most powerful lobbying group in which the five oil companies were members.<ref>https://www.desmog.com/2022/10/18/new-jersey-sues-shell-exxon-api-oil-public-deception-climate/</ref>

			The lawsuit, filed in the New Jersey Superior Court, states that the companies knew about climate change for decades and actively sought to conceal that information from the public. Instead, they funded PR campaigns aimed at confusing and misleading the public. <ref>https://www.nj.gov/oag/newsreleases22/2022-1018_NJ-Climate-Complaint-FILED.pdf</ref>

			The oil companies “concealed and misrepresented the dangers of fossil fuels; disseminated false and misleading information about the existence, causes, and effects of climate change; and aggressively promoted the ever-increasing use of their products at ever-greater volumes,” the complaint states.
