Litigational risks: Similar to the tobacco industry, industries producing excessive greenhouse gases (GHG) are exposed to the risk of an increasing number of lawsuits if damages can be correlated to emissions.[7] Competitive risks: If companies do not take measures to reduce climate risks they are competitively disadvantaged.[how?] This might lead to increasing production costs caused by obsolete technologies and therefore to decreasing profits.[citation needed] Production risks: Production shortfalls can result from direct or indirect climate risks, i.e., hurricanes damaging oil production facilities can lead to supply disruption and increased prices. Also the price for energy will rise,[citation needed] as heatwaves cause water scarcity, impacting the supply of power plant cooling water.
