For the even bigger picture around US climate litigation news, we recommend The White House Effect.
Using exclusively archival material, this film tells the dramatic origin story of the climate crisis and how a political battle in the George H.W. Bush administration changed the course of history. As the world prepares for the Rio Earth Summit in 1992, President George H.W. Bush faces mounting pressure to make a decision that will change the course of history—culminating in the U.S. undermining a global agreement to set hard limits on emissions, setting the stage for the increasingly hot, dangerous, and polarized future we all now face.
