Environmental Litigation

Environmental litigation consists of lawsuits brought by environmentalist groups to enrich themselves with no meaningful benefit to the environment. Many of these lawsuits are brought within the often-reversed Ninth Circuit, particularly California.

Dieselgate litigation[edit]

Dieselgate lawsuits are a shake-down of Volkswagen, which was once the wealthiest company in the world. These American lawsuits have already cost the German company more than $30 billion, and another wave of litigation as brought by many counties in the United States could cost Volkswagen even more if allowed by the U.S. Supreme Court.

Roundup litigation[edit]

Non-scientific, unproven allegations about Roundup based on junk science were used to force Bayer-Monsanto to pay $10 billion to law firms.^[1]
