Continuing his roll out of environmental policy announcements this week, Mayor Bill de Blasio had one message for fossil fuel companies on Earth Day: “We’ll see you in court.”

The mayor announced Thursday that the city has sued several large oil companies, including ExxonMobil, BP and Shell Oil, for misleading consumers about the environmental impacts of their products.
