A group of Colombian farmers are suing the oil giant BP over environmental damage from their country’s largest pipeline. The farmers are seeking $29 million in compensation for what they say is BP’s negligent handling of the project, which brings around 600,000 barrels of oil per day to the Caribbean coast. The British High Court is hearing the case. It is said to be one of the largest lawsuit over environmental damages in recent years.
