The conglomerate Koch Industries is suing Youth for Climate Truth for publishing a fake press release in their name which stated that the company was supporting climate change advocacy. Koch enterprises are minerals, oil and fertilizers.
Koch is seeking damages including the cost of correcting the record created by the fake release. Public Citizen, which is defending Youth for Climate Change, said the parody qualified as political speech and protected under the First Amendment. -db
