Big Oil fires back at Blas

- Michael Gartland

An ad campaign attacking Mayor de Blasio’s plan to sue oil companies over climate change will launch Monday.

The blitz is sponsored by the Manufactur­ers’ Accountabi­lity Project, a brainchild of the National Associatio­n of Manufactur­ers.

“Mayor de Blasio’s attack on manufactur­ers is just the latest example of the mayor taking his marching orders from deep-pocketed activist foundation­s and trial lawyers looking for a big payday on the backs of taxpayers,” said Linda Kelly, NAM’s senior vice president.

The city is suing BP, Chevron, Conoco-Phillips, ExxonMobil and Royal Dutch Shell.
